YOYOSTUDIO Yoyo Professional Unresponsive Yoyos with Dual Aluminum Alloy Rings, Pro Tricks Yo yos for Adults, Metal Yoyo for Kids 8-12 Beginners with Strings, Gloves & Case Black (Silver Ring)

YoYoStudio does good with this one by making a competition grade bi-metal yoyo at a price that almost everyone can afford.What's in the box: We have the yoyo itself, 10 blue strings, 1 yoyo glove and a plastic baggie that has a bearing puller, axle wrench and the concave bearing for unresponsive play. I swapped the curved bearing in and took out the stock responsive bearing to get started. This also included a zippered yoyo case for EDC card. I also used the included strings for this evaluation.Looking at the yoyo itself, I chose blue. The color is solid and nice, no flaws. The engraving ensures permanent identification, which is always good in my opinion. The transition between the aluminum and Steel rings is very smooth. With the wide profile, it can handle your banger tricks, vertical play and of course, the DNA trick. I found myself easily hitting a couple of high risk binds due to the wide profile. The lines themselves are smooth and minimalistic. There's nothing wrong with that.How it is on grinds? Finger grinds are OK. DNA is OK, IRG's are good. Arm grinds are not so good on skin as the steel rings tend to make the contact. The yoyo has a minimal surface treatment to help with grinds, kinda feeling like a bead blast.In play the yoyo is very light on the string. The yoyo had some unexpected beahaviors. I did some intentionally bad hits and the yoyo got knocked off axis, which was exactly what I wanted to do. The yoyo held the new position fairly well. This will be a helpful feature when taking the yoyo off axis via gyroflop or other methods and you want things to stay. The yoyo also doesn't want to flip into a top-on fingerspin when doing an IRG, which I appreciate. The yoyo does stay stable in horizonal play.I chose the blue because I liked the color combination and also wanted to try to get a good photo of the engraved graphics. I failed, but that's a me issue. The blue/silver really works nice together.For the costs, you can get a competition set of 3 for under $100. Not bad at all! If you're looking for a first yoyo, this might not be the best due to the light weight, so it would be a good 2nd or third once you know the bind. But, if you do want a wide starter, this will do a great job.

I used to mess around with a YO YO when I was kid growing up. Now I use it as a time killer instead of looking at my phone. It's a big help and I really enjoy it agian. Learning tricks and stalls all over agian. Great product!!!

I’m really impressed with how this thing plays. I got the X032A in orange with purple rims, it looks great. The geometry on it is great, it feels like most of the mass is in the rims, it’s very stable. The shape is really comfortable. It’s more angular than a purely organic shaped yo-yo, but it doesn’t feel angular or sharp in the hand. It can handle anything I throw at it, including tons of backspin. I would feel totally comfortable using this in competition. It’s a really outstanding throw, especially for the price.

It is machined, so it looks like it has rings, but in reality, it doesn't.With that said, it's an excellent yoyo with lots of spin time and power. It also handles well and has a touch of floaty feel.With a very reasonable price and great performance, you can forgive advertising embellishments, but it's still a great one for anyone's collection.

I have had serval yoyos but always wanted an Aluminum one. I finally got this one. Spins fin but I cant get it to come back up . I gave up and no it is a paper weight on the end table. Instructions arnt very good.
