this yoyo is good for beginners fi you don’t want to spend too much. I would recommend the Duncan hornet though.

great cheap yoyo

An excellent beginner yoyo. Only problem I have with it is, that its a little too responsive. It could just be that I'm throwing it down too hard but besides that an excellent first yoyo.

For the price I had to give it a try. Turns out I think it's fantastic. I found this to be a great yoyo for modern responsive type throwing (doing string tricks but only needing a tug to bring the yoyo back instead of needing a bind). Feels good holding it too. Maintenance should be simple as it has starburst response, meaning you'll never have to change pads or stickers.

My only knock on it is it could maybe use more rim weight as it can be unstable during string tricks. That said, the lack of rim weight is hardly a reason to not give this thing a try.

If you're a beginner definitely start with this yoyo. If you're looking to try modern responsive play but aren't sure you want to fork out $30+ for a responsive yoyo give this a try. If you want a yoyo that fits in your pocket and you don't care if it hits the ground when asked to "walk the dog" this is it. If after all that you still don't like it then at least you got a spare bearing for your other yoyos for cheaper than most replacement bearings cost.

writing on behalf of the new xt. literally slays. went to worlds this past year when they handed them out during the world record attempt. bought like 7 yoyos at worlds... this one was my favorite one. enjoy.
