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.

The best non responsive yoyo for the price! Spins for 90 seconds! Highly recommend for any yoyoer you know as a great gift. Would not recommend for beginners. One of the best yoyos I have ever bought.

I picked this one up as the other YoyoStudio yoyos were pretty good. This one is actually a fantastic yoyo. It surprisingly played dead smooth, the U bearing it came with was slightly crispy to start, but after breaking it in, it's very smooth now. At 64.5 grams, it's plays extremely stable, even slightly heavy feeling as it's mostly rim weight. With excellent spin times and balance, learning new tricks seems a bit easier on this yoyo as you can move a bit slower and it will stay spinning for a good while. It has a blast catch zone and Wing Shaped so grinds are easy. Off centered fingerspins are also easy with the groove around the middle hub. Thumbs grinds are doable but difficult with a narrow inner grind ring. I didn't try the responsive bearing as I didn't like the one they used in the past, but it is included, along with string, glove, and bearing tool. The only thing I didn't like was the response pad were a little slippy.

As one of the lower costing yoyos in my collection, this is a fun throw that became my daily for a bit. I was drawn to it by the bright orange with purple rims. Unresponsive play is excellent out of the box, however a better bearing will give it the longer sleep times. It came with it's own case, responsive bearing and tool as well as a glove that sadly fpr me was coming apart at the seams. Speaking of seams, the only downside to the yoyo thst I can speak of is the seam where the rim connects to the yoyo was for me not as smooth as others on the market. Definitely not a deal breaker. In the few months I have owned this yoyo it has easily been thrown close to 30 hrs total with no signs of slowing down.

A highly stable and long spinning bi-metal by YoyoStudio. Unusually, it comes already in the unresponsive setup which is to my liking cause I don't want to deal with switching out bearings if it had come as responsive. However, for those that want this in responsive, the seller provides a responsive bearing with the yoyo packaging. This yoyo after all looks like it's meant for unresponsive play with the yoyo shape, the stainless steel rims, and the overall look. I hope this yoyo gets to be available in more colorways!
