Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Yo-yos are such personal things. Everyone has there favorite or favorites, as the case maybe, and anyone thinking of purchasing one of these things is that the perfect yoyo, one that is absolutely universally accepted as "the best" simply has not been built and quite likely never will be.
Now I personally love this particular model and it suits me and my need perfectly at this time.
First, this yo-yo is a bit heavier and a bit larger than some you can purchase. At my size, it is absolutely perfect. The extra weight gives me much more control when doing tricks and I like the feel and balance of the thing. Secondly, I learned on a standard yo-yo years and years ago, the gap on those older models was much smaller...very narrow. This model is wing shaped and the intake gap is quite wide making it much easier to do string tricks.
There are some things to consider when purchasing this yo-yo though. Since it is heavier and a bit bigger, it can indeed cause some pain and possible bruising to the small hand. I personally would not recommend this one for the smaller child who is just starting out.
Secondly, this yo-yo does have a ring of softer rubber around the edge. This is good in that it makes it easier to catch and does soften the return blow somewhat. On the other hand, this rubber makes it more difficult to do some of the tricks where the yo-yo must contact any surface. If this thing is used on the sidewalk, there will be significant wear in a very short time which will throw its balance off a bit...depending on how much wear is involved. On yet the other hand, this one will not get all funky looking with cuts and chips if you abuse it a bit. I practice on an all wood floor so really do not have a problem in this area.
Third, because of the extra weight and the rpm's which can be generated and the force involved do be sure that you have extra strings available. (This is something you should have anyway...a worn string is a very, very bad thing indeed!)
I note that some folks have had problems with sleep time on this one. Might I suggest you shorten your string just a bit? I have had great times with this one and can average out at least 20 with no great strain. Each and every person will normally have their own string length suited for them...that is why they sell them so long...you can cut them to the desired size, where as it is a bit difficult to add if the string is too short.
I have bashed this yo-yo around pretty good in practice and have yet been able to break the thing...a rarity for me. This thing can take quite a beating which is good for the beginner.
The axel is pretty smooth (I have seen better, yet I have seen and used worse), and it has a "good" feel.
This is a pretty good price being offered here. Everyone should have more than one yo-yo in their arsenal (actually, the more the merrier), and this is a fun one to fool around with. Yes, there are better yo-yos on the market, but you are going to pay a lot more for them. This one is great for beginners and intermediates will find that it will meet all of their demands before the move on to bigger and better things.
