V3 Yoyo for Kids 8-12 or Above, Responsive Yo-yo Dual Function

Bought this Yoyo for my 5 year old as he wanted to learn how to "walk the dog" and other small tricks and the Duncan he had wouldn't perform. This product is exactly what he needed. The string length is adjustable and multiple are provided incase you cut too short. Included was extra parts and a nice case. The throw is extremely smooth and the billet housings feel nice and smooth and are durable. Available is multiple colors this product is a great choice for kids learning to yoyo or adults reminiscing on old memories!

Really fun! Way better than anything I had as a kid. Nice weight and sleeps forever with real steel ball bearings and not just plastic rubbing on plastic.

I shipped this to my grandson, but he selected it. He is 10 and his Dad told me that He loves it.

Yoyo is sturdy and quiet! Spins for a ridiculously long time for a responsive yoyo. I love that it comes with the extra unresponsive bearing for a comfortable transition to higher level yoyos. Love the weight LOOOOVE the color. It turns a deep purple when you spin. This is going to be my daily carry. I dont think this is a beginners yoyo. In the 90's I had the YOMEGA "BRAIN." The Yomega is extremely responsive and reminds me a little of the Spinstar. When I picked up the hobby after 20 years, I got Gentry Stein's "Master pack," which comes with 3 yoyos (spinstar, the one, and replay pro). I started with a spinstar (grew out of that fast). Quickly after, I moved up the yoyo factory "One," which is a fantastic beginner plastic yoyo. The downside is the gap is really small for the "one" and i wanted something wider for string tricks. Being that the replay is unresponsive, I didnt feel i was ready for that step just yet, mostly because I am not good at winding up quickly yet. So I got something in between with the V3. If you dont have the techniques down, you will end up hurting yourself with this yoyo. It snaps back QUICK with the responsive bearing. If youre a beginner, stick with a wide plastic yoyo to learn tricks and avoid harm. If you feel that you have outgrown a plastic yoyo, then this is perfect next step up.

I'm very new to yoyoing, so I don't know how valuable my opinion is, but I like this yoyo in responsive mode. My experience is limited to Duncan imperials and butterflies (the cheap ones), a MagicYoYo Crystal K2, this MagicYoYo V3, and a YoYoFriends Shortcut. I expected the shortcut to make me like this one less, but I can't tell a difference. If I put the unresponsive bearing in this it may have a little less spin time, but it's minimal if so. Otherwise they are very similar, except that this V3 seems more stable (doesn't want to wobble as much), but that could very well be my throws. Apparently each yoyo has a learning curve. Either way, if it's this close to a $40+ Shortcut I have to give it a good rating. I'm not likely to buy more yoyos in the near future, but, if I do, I will be giving MagicYoYo a favorable look over more expensive ones.

Great Yoto for kids or adults that are still kids at heart. My husband enjoys using it and it’s a nice quality. String is holding up, the yoyo feels nice, and it has a really long spin time compared to the cheap ones I’m used too. Comes with extra string and a nice case. Makes for a fun gift for someone who may just like to keep their hands busy.

Overall, I'm not impressed with this yo-yo. I cannot recommend this for anyone wanting a responsive yo-yo (which is a yo-yo that comes back to your hand when you give a little pull). It's unresponsive performance is better though. Pros: Metal construction gives it a quality feel and look. Fairly priced for what you get (I paid $15). Versatile, it can be responsive and unresponsive. Butterfly shape is nice for string tricks. Cons: I found the sleep time to be below average with the responsive bearings. I spent time breaking in this yo-yo and applied a light lubrication, but I just can't get this yo-yo to sleep for much more than 20 seconds when using the responsive bearings. I have other plastic yo-yos that can sleep longer with less effort. The unresponsive bearings were more in line with normal expectations. Pro and Con: The metal construction gives it a more premium feel and weight. However, if it returns unexpectedly after a hard throw, it's going to quickly bruise your hand. Not a huge issue if you know what you're doing but definitely something to consider. Basically, I can't recommend this for a beginner, especially if you'll be using the responsive bearings. Your hand will get beat up, and you'll be disappointed in the sleep time. Other than that, I think it could be a decent buy because of the reasonable price, but I would carefully consider other options.

My child is very happy with this product has provided many hours of fun since it arrived. Highly recommend very sturdy. Fantastic to have spare replacement items in the box as well - like the string.

Es mi primer yoyo con rodamientos y me agrado mucho. Utilice el rodamiento plano responsivo que incluia por defecto por 2 días y me funciono muy bien para aprender trucos básicos, mas cuando cambie al rodamiento tipo C para juego no responsivo me pareció aun mejor. Los accesorios son suficientes para jugar por mucho tiempo sin necesitar comprar nuevo y el acabado del yoyo es suave al tacto.

It was a awesome present for my kid, end less fun. Its a professional level Yoyo.

Really a good yo-yo and feels so solid and so stylish. My son rated 10 over 10. Good deal and totally recommend product. Thank you

It is a fantastic Yo-yo. I’m just not very good. I have nailed the Yo, but that second yo just evades me.
