WATIEOBOO Yoyo Professional,Metal Responsive Yoyo for Kids Beginners, Unresponsive Yoyo for Adults Intermediate-Advanced Players with Glove and 10 Replacement Yoyos Strings Model WA-01

I was very much looking forward to playing and reviewing this yoyo. I'm not disappointed.First, what's in the box: The yoyo, concave bearing, bearing puller, 10 blue strings, glove and the zipper case. I immediately swapped out the stock lubed flat bearing for the unresponsive curved bearing, took photos and did my testing.Grinds. It does grinds good, Finger grinds, arm grinds, IRG, it's good. I even did an eagle claw but I kept messing that up because I always grip too hard, but for that brief second, it was cool. Top on finger spins and DNA are totally possible although the center of the cup is raised just a touch, the yoyo will sit stable. Grinds are important, as I like those kind of tricks. The surface allows for grinds without the need for the included glove. As I dislike using gloves, a textured surface for grinds is a feature that I always look for. It's not a deal-breaker as I have plenty of shiny/smooth yoyos.Play was great. The yoyo pushed weight to the edge of the rims with a smaller/thinner rim through the use of the weight rings at the edge. This is a common practice although they used wider rings. The contrast between the light blue and the silver rings looks really good to me and is an eye-catcher for sure. The H-shape is comfortable for finger grinds and also lends itself well for risky banger tricks and high-risk binds. I myself wouldn't use this for 5A, but it would be a good 5A yoyo. I just wouldn't want to ding this up, that's why. 1A, it's definitely meant for that. Great for casual play and competition. My only issue came from when the bearing started to really break-in, which all new bearings do, and during this period, spin times are reduced, so you have to play your way through that. It broke through it relatively quick and spin times improved, which is also normal. Horizontal play is fairly stable. The yoyo doesn't want to correct on off-axis throws for IRG as much as others do, but if you go further over, it will want to transition to a top-on finger spin.The clean lines avoid visual distractions. The simple solid colors really bring eyes to the yoyo. The included blue strings are stiffer than the yellow strings so slack tricks are a lot better to do as the loop stays open as you whip the string. Of course, I always recommend seasoned players switch to their favorite string. The response pad broke in quickly but I'd still probably go with flowable silicone since that's what I like. This yoyo appears to use standard 19MM OD slim pads(YYF basically). Bearing swap was fast and easy. The yoyo is surprisingly smooth on throws and only a little bit of vibration on the thumbnail test. The yoyo was far smoother than I expected, in part due to the price, in part due to it being a bi-metal, and in part because I took the yoyo apart to do the bearing swap. I wasn't expecting this kind of quality for the price. I did pay more than many of the others, which is normal for a bi-metal. Even so, this outperforms the purchase price. If you're looking for an affordable bi-metal,this is probably the one you want.Don't forget, this is a great EDC because of the included zipper pouch.For what I paid, I definitely got my money's worth and then some. I'm used to playing One Drop, CLYW, C3 and other higher-tier yoyos. This V2 is impressive. At the same time, the quality coming from the various discount yoyo brands has just been absolutely fantastic the past few years. It's also good to see that there is plenty of room for other companies in that area. I've been very pleased with the various Watieoboo yoyos I have, and I think going forward it will likely continue to be that way.

All right so I am reviewing the V2 black and silver yo-yo. Right out-of-the-box this yoyo was very shiny, and you could tell it was made from premium quality. This is a bi metal yoyo which has a 6068-aluminum body and aluminum alloy for the rims. After throwing for a couple of hours I could tell that this really was a very nice yoyo. You can even compare this yoyo to $150.00 one and you'd probably get almost the same results. Right away it comes responsive yo-yo with that bearing and I recorded at least a 12 second sleep time, which is very decent and nice for basic beginner tricks. I was easily able to do a lot of basic beginner picture tricks like the Jamaican flag, Robin Hood, rock the baby, Eiffel Tower, and some basic string tricks like man on the flying trapeze and trapeze and brother. I did notice when throwing on string tricks that the spin time was slower than some unresponsive yoyos that land on this string, I did put yoyo Lube on the bearing to make it smoother and I did see quite an improvement. This is a nice yo-yo to throw around and work on advanced intermediate tricks and not having to worry to break thing, because you can't really beat that price point. This yo-yo is on the higher end margin for the magic yoyos here on amazon, but it is worth it and I’m can see myself practicing with this quite a lot. I do recommend this yoyo over the plastic yoyos just because you get a better feeling for bimetal yoyos and you're able to have more control than you would other plastic ones for beginners.

A gift for a grownup who was an expert with a yo-yo when a child. . A surprise for him, and fun.

You want a review; I'll give you a review. This is one of the best yoyos I've ever used and the best right out of the box experience I've had with any yoyo. I have only one other yoyo that is arguably better than this one, and that is an 888, which costs 4-6 times as much (if you can find one). Unlike the 888, This one does not have hubstacks, but hubstacks are more of a novelty than a true advantage. I ran it through all my tests, and it performed spectacularly. 1a (traditional) works great; the light weight makes it very gentle on the connecting finger, grinds great on bare hand; with a glove it grinds even better. 4a (off sting) there may be better 4a yoyos out there, but this is the best in my collection; it's bigger and makes 4a play much more manageable. 5a (freehand) stays stable under the unusual conditions that the counterweight adds. Not only is the yoyo great itself, but you get ten more strings, a glove (this is the first time I've used a glove), a carrying case (which I'm neutral on, but if you want one, it's there) and a responsive bearing. I have almost no need for a responsive setup personally, but any beginner will find the responsive set a great start at learning the basics. The unresponsive setup is very unresponsive and is for more advanced players, players who feel they could do more complicated things, but the yoyo itself is not good enough to allow them to do so; this yoyo will allow you to do it. This yoyo is great for all players (which is almost unheard of) and at a very reasonable price. I would be satisfied with this product if it were 3x as much. I don't give 5 stars easily, but this one has earned it all the way.

Pretty colors, bright, and perfect

This product offers excellent value for the price. It operates smoothly and boasts an impressive spin time. However, it struggles a bit with finger spins, and the quality of the string leaves much to be desired. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for beginners who are just starting out.
