I was looking for a plastic practice yoyo that wouldn't bite my fingers off like my 888 and other professional yoyos do when snagging on new learned tricks, and this is THE FIRST "toy" level yoyo I've found where the packaging lies to you. When you see this yoyo at first in the package, it screams toy, until you give it that first (well second) throw...then your mind will be blown at what it's capable of when you change out the slim bearing for a full width size-C bearing and some quality string.
PROS:
Modular - You can modify the feel of this yoyo by simply changing parts to ones you like.
Small Form Factor - It's just a HAIR larger in diameter than the 888
Solid Weight - Holding it definitely doesn't FEEL like a toy.
Silicone Response - No crappy plastic teeth or thick super responsive rubber o-rings
Narrow Gap - It can be seen as a con, but because it already has a slim bearing, it allows for "options"
Cost - How can you do any better than $8.99???
Perfect balance - I have a hard time making this thing throw crooked
CONS:
Narrow Gap - It's upside can be a downfall because if you don't like a lot of response, you need to get a full width size-C bearing, bringing the cost up from $9 to about $20.
No Hub Stacks or Option for it - I would gladly pay a couple $$ more for the ability to add hub stacks to this yoyo.
Ugly Labels - Little donut stickers don't do this yoyo justice. They just make it look more like a toy. I may make some engraved metal discs to replace those.
