Blue with yellow cap, white spacers Red with white cap, white spacers Transparent yellow(or is it green) with black cap and black spacers. White with black cap and black spacers. A second LONGER axle is included in each package because the stock axle is only long enough for modified configurations. If you plan on beefcaking(using 2 bearings), you need a FHZ axle or a longer axle bolt. I'm going to the hardware store next week to investigate things like weight rings and what proper hex bolts to purchase for maintenance and modification purposes.

The more I hear about and see these, the more I'm wanting to take a trip across town to pick one (or 2 or...) of these up. I'm liking the looks of that black and white one, as well as the translucent yellow/black. Eventually, having all 4 would be cool so I can mix and match colors. I will definitely put my wire weight rings in it if it's that light, to give it some meat. Looping, I'm fine with lighter but I like to have a little beef to my 1A's.
I wonder how these would do at 3A.

I think after tuning the axle configuration and weight rings, and maybe a bit of tweaking of the modified mode response system, it might not be half bad. Seems like getting a pair of Asteroids would be more productive. However, the ProZ is a lot of bang for the buck.

I absolutely love these for their price. I picked a black and white one up just so I could show people which yoyo to go buy if their interested in getting into yoing. They can decide if they want to start off looping or do string tricks. These are awesome beginner yoyo but I can even land some high end technical tricks on them. They are a blast for 10 bucks.

I just got one too. I can do pretty much all my tricks on it, the only one that are more difficult are the whips and slacks. I can do them, they just take more skill on a responsive yoyo. But it can handle my skin the gerbils and spirit bombs.

Have you tried the TX Wide Gap Wing Cut bearings in it yet and do they fit with the stock spacers?

I'll contact you when a check gets in and order that and some other bearings from you. I do know your beefcake kit for FHZ does require a FHZ axle(or 30mm 4.7 bolt) to be used. Even the longer stock axle isn't long enough.

Just picked up a couple Pro Zs, 2 translucent green and 1 black/white. Going to try them out in a bit, look pretty solid!
Quick update: I opened one of these guys up. I (quickly) tried the looping mode and it felt pretty good, was able to loop. Pretty smooth, too - no vibe. After, I switched it over to 1A mode. Again, felt really good. Light, stable, fast and smooth considering it was only $8. It claims to be 60g with the spacers in it, which feels like it's heavier than my PGM...probably because its smaller profile. Honestly, I'm happy with the purchase, can't wait to try these out with weight rings in it, try 2A, and also attempt 3A. The lime green/black looks absolutely amazing. In the end, this is a tinkerer's yoyo, meant for experimenting with different things. Also a great way to get beginners used to working with multiple parts and tuning their yoyos.
I haven't opened the other 2 yet but the first of the 3 was pretty responsive, enough to decently loop.
Random note: TRU was loaded with yoyos: Freakhands, a few Pro Z's (a few less now:) ), Metal Drifters, Raider, Maverick, and Fireball. There was also the 2 pack containing a mosquito and limelight, and a 3-pack containing a Raider, Fireball, and Brain. TRU definitely now has a solid 'starter' section of yoyos, hope to see the whole yoyo thing catch on.
