Spinworkx Yoyo Review: Duncan Hugo Z Hor

It's been awhile since we last posted a review article on this website, and to kick off the beginning of August (Well, end of July), Spinworkx takes a closer look at one of the most well known Screaming Eagle yo-yos since the Mayhem.

First made famous when it debut in the Czech Republic, Duncan soon saw the potential in this metal yo-yo that came from humble beginnings and decided to give it the professional status it deserves.

Keeping it basic: Setting up your FAST 201

Bought a FAST some time during mid 2009 onwards??? You may have noticed a few changes with it since YoyoFactory begun production in China.

For one, the plastic caps are no longer removable, and the yo-yo is not as responsive as it used to be.

Today we teach you an extremely simple task you will need to do if you want to add more response to your FAST 201 in order to make it a great yo-yo for the basics, especially Foundation Level 3 of the Spinworkx Challenge!

How Judging Works

Ever found yourself at a yo-yo contest cheering for what seems to be the best freestyle you've seen all day, only to realise that when the results were finally out, the poor guy on stage didn't get the gold?

[caption id="attachment_1646" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Ever wanted to know what separates one player from another at a contest?"]Ever wanted to know what separates one player from another at a contest?[/caption]

Now before you cry "foul play!" and start questioning the contest, it is important to understand how the judging system works.

Through this article, Spinworkx will try to give you more insight as to how our judges score competitors at competitions. We hope that after this article, you too would have a better understanding on how we judge contests, as well as allow you to become a better competitor by educating yourself with the judging system.

What's the Spinworkx Challenge???

So we've been getting quite a lot of talk in the local scene since the list of the first 60 tricks for the Spinworkx Challenge surfaced on our blog a few days ago.

"A new contest?"


"A new set of compulsaries?"


"Some kind of grading system?"
