It’s no secret that Duncan has been working on spinning caps similar to “hub stacks”. Finally we get a first look at what they have up there sleeves.
The biggest difference from the Duncan spin caps and those of Yo-Yo Jam’s or Yo-Yo Factory’s is the magnet in the center. It’s rumored that this will be paired with magnetic counter weights.
The big difference in the Duncan spin caps is they do not spin independently of each other. The design uses a hollow axle that has an axle through the center that attach to the caps.

2008 US Nationals saw the return of Buzz On Industries.
Here is a new spin on an old face. First released in 2003 the Element X has always come with metal rings, until now. The wood rings look really great. Looking forward to a more appropriate body color combo.
Also making a come back is one of my favorite plastics. The Throwman. Only now they come with metal rings like original Element X’s.
Glad to see that Buzz On is back. I hope that previous flaws have been changed and a solid line of yo-yos is here to stay.

Duncan is making a big push to make product that change the way you play. These 2 new products are no exception.
First is a new all metal top with a one way bearing. This allows for long spins and the ability to regenerate the spin. This could revolutionize spin top competition. Now, instead of switching tops every trick, you can just regenerate the top and perform a new trick.
Also a unique new diabolo. The interesting new feature of this is that you can switch back and forth from bearing to fixed axle.
