Yomega Fireball YoYo -HIGH Performance Responsive Transaxle Yoyo, Great for String Tricks for Advance Players to Perform Like Pros + Extra 2 yo yo Strings & 3 Month Warranty (Dark_Blue)

I love this yo-yo, and I have for a long time. I had a few of these when I was in junior high, I believe. And this one I bought much more recently is exactly as I remember. Quite easy to use, sleeps very well and for a long time, easy to feel out to do/perfect tricks. Very pleased with this purchase, and the bit of nostalgia that came with it.

I used to use this yo-yo when I was a child for aerial tricks so when my son started yo-yoing I was really happy to see it is still being made. It’s really good. I recommend getting two so you can do tricks with one in each hand.

Smooth to use and do some tricks with that

It's taken me back and given me a moments experience of being a child in school again, so that's wonderful. It works almost every bit as well as the yo-yos we had as kids. They were basic and didn't have switch gears and mechanisms, bearings, rollers, sleeves, flashing lights or any of that, just a wooden peg and a loop of string. This one is equally basic. They were a little denser though, a little heavier and that meant that they would keep spinning a little longer and some tricks were a little easier to do. They were a little more encouraging because success was just a little easier to achieve, so if you're buying this for an actual kid bear that in mind. For an adult it's a triviality to use.As far as durability is concerned, I've had my fun and it'll go into a drawer where the only thing that'll affect how long it stays structurally in tact is how long it'll take for the plastics it's made of to decompose. I expect it'll last for literally hundreds of years. The centre pin is made of dense plastic which has a soft steel (soft for steel, much harder than plastic) threaded peg in it. I expect that it wouldn't be trivial to break even for a particularly badly raised angry and destructive child if used as a yoyo.It was radically expensive and if I weren't very nostalgic I probably would never have spent this much on such a simple toy that's so easy and cheap to produce. Even at fifteen dollars it's expensive. If one includes shipping, which is very nearly the same price as the yoyo the cost of this thing was extreme. A thirty dollar yoyo is an expensive little toy. It's tiny and very light, there's no way the entire shipping price was related to the cost.This was one of the cheaper yoyos from this brand, the ones with fancy innards are far more expensive. A Yoyo shouldn't be more than a few dollars and shipping half that. The argument that a cheaper one would break or not work as well isn't valid, it's fair to expect that a product does what it says on the tin and doesn't collapse on itself if used as intended.

Played with these when I was a kid, and now my own kid got into yo-yos. I told him this was one of the best, and I wasn’t wrong! This brings back so many great childhood memories. The Yomega Fireball works well, has good stall time, and performs just like it always has. The colors are awesome, and it feels lightweight yet sturdy. Perfect for string tricks and great for both beginners and more advanced players. Plus, the extra strings and warranty are a nice bonus. Highly recommend!

Excelente para regalo buen material buena construcción.

I've been yo-yoing for a number of months now. I've bought and tried out about 20 different types of yo-yo. I was excited to try this one. I was severely disappointed.This is a responsive yoyo, with starburst response system. It has a plastic axle cover. It should be very responsive. It's not.No matter what I try, when I throw it, there is a lag before the response kicks in and pulls up. Even my partner who doesn't yo-yo noticed it when I was playing and couldn't believe it.With my good looping yoyos, I can do 20 loops in a row. With this I can't do one. I tried adding some bearing oil. I tried a different string. I played it for about 10 minutes before giving up and putting it back in the box to return it.On the plus side, the box looks great. I love how you open the top and the yoyo is sitting right there. The yellow transparent color was great. I so badly wanted to love this yoyo, and I'm so disappointed that I hate it so much. My two favorites for looping have been the sunrise and Henry's Coral snake. But they are both more considerably expensive than this one. But what's the point in a looping yo-yo, if it can't loop. I couldn't even do around the world with it.

great yo-yo!
