WATIEOBOO V2 Professional Bi-Metal Yoyo,Unresponsive Yoyo for Adults,Responsive Yoyo for Kids Beginner with Bearing Replacement Tool,10 Yo-Yo Strings,Yoyo Case,Yoyo Glove-black-gold

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.

This yoyo is beautiful and receives many compliments in public. It is similar to a YYF wedge and is W shaped. Weight and specs are great. Not Uber stable but is pretty fun regardless of level.

overall it is a pretty decent option for a yoyo.... i have thrown worse.... i have thrown better...... this is still somewhere in the beginner range of yoyo..... but out of the box is not at its best..... i tried it for a bit with the responsive bearing and that i will say is pretty good.,..... then i swapped to the unresponsive bearing and something just felt off.... so i stripped it down again and cleaned the bearing and added a tiny drop of yoyo lube and it made a world of difference...... i would say that out of the box the unresponsive bearing needs to be cleaned and lubed for a good playing yoyo.... that being said the rims feel very wide on this..... i have some other bi metal yoyos and the rims on this compared to any of those are sooooo much bigger.... and they others have even better spin time and stability..... for the price is a great yoyo...... for a bi metal it is on the bottom end of things.... all in all it is a very usable yoyo and plays really well responsive..... it looks great for what it is and ill say if this is your budget then go for it..... if you can spend double this on a yoyo i would likely recommened something else.....like i said there are far better but also far worse yoyos..... this is maybe an mid tier budget entry level yoyo if that makes sense

The new V2 is aesthetically pleasing, plays well especially for the price!

This yoyo offers a lot of fun and impressive dual-functionality. The bi-metal construction looks to be less traditional, and more just two different grades of aluminum for the body and rims, but still gives it a powerful throw and satisfying heft that you would expect out of bi-metal designs. It delivers a snappy and fast response even at slower speeds, and actually excels in both responsive and unresponsive play with the included bearings. What's extra nice is that the bearings are both large size C bearings, so if you do swap, you don't have to change out the axle or anything. Long spin times and a comfortable feel. Finger grinds can be tricky for those with larger fingers due to tackier rims, but the inner gap is excellent for finger grinds if you get it placed just right. All in all, it's a good quality yoyo that performs well across various play styles, and one you don't have to worry about dinging up since it has a good price point. Would recommend giving it a shot if you're learning or want to try out bi-metal performance without committing to the higher prices.

This is my new favorite and Main Yo-Yo.This thing is gorgeous. Metal is high quality.The gold on it feels more like bronze, but like, a very shiny goldish bronze.It glides very smoothly.It's the perfect Yo-Yo as far as I'm concerned!
