YOYOSTUDIO F25 Finger Spin Yoyo Professional Responsive Yoyo for Kids 8-12 & Adults, Professional Trick Yoyos with Unresponsive Yoyos Accessory Kit, 10 Yo-Yo Strings, Case & Glove - Black Red Silver

What’s in the package: Zipper hard case Bearing puller and concave C-sized bearing 10 yellow strings Gloves. First, the yoyo comes in multiple splash colorways. I chose the black/purple/silver as I felt the two dark colors against the light color looked really good on ordering page. Of course, in hand, it wasn’t the exact same yoyo(you can’t replicate splashes), but it still looked better in hand than on the site. The engraving clearly shows the brand and model. As I’ve said in other reviews, I’m a big fan of things like this because with a large collection, being able to not have to cross-reference pictures is good. I want to pick up a yoyo and just go for it, knowing what it is. While it seems a lot of the smaller brands do like to do the engraving, I do encourage all companies to do this whenever possible. I know it’s not always possible. Along with the brand and model identifiers, there is also another decoration a the cup angles into the center, which while I can’t adequately describe beyond “braid/twist/interlocking”, it looks neat. Stock, the yoyo has a flat C sized bearing, lubed up with who knows what so that way it’s good for beginners. Sorry, not interested. Swapped that bearing out using the included bearing puller and replaced the flat bearing with the included concave C-sized bearing for advanced play. Design itself an H-type design that is rim weighted. The cup design shows the rim weight quite well, as well as a central divot for top-on finger spins after getting over a slight bump. It appears some weight was placed at the center for a more agile play experience. Play in general was smooth and stable. It was able to be pushed fast, go slow, was reasonably agile but did need some adjustments here and there. Thumbnail test was maybe a 7 out of 10. Finger grinds good, arm grinds OK, palm grinds were bad but that was probably a me issue. Thumb grinds were OK. I tried to do DNA, but I just cannot land that on any yoyo. If your angle is heading in the right direction, this yoyo will correct from off-axis to full up for finger spin tricks like DNA. It was also stable during vertax/horizontal play, so it’s a good DNA-performing yoyo. Grinds would be better with the included gloves, but I don’t use gloves. For the money, you’re getting a fantastic deal with the case, bearing puller, spare bearing, and strings. This yoyo is basically competition ready for many players with the concave bearing installed. The only two things I would say is I would use a different string and would silicone the response. I do have string preferences and I like silicone as a response pad media. The stock pads are just fine, and you have to appreciate a yoyo with beginner-type pricing including 10 strings so you’ll know if you want to continue or not. Hopefully you do. This is good at 1A and I would assume 5A as well. It’s low-cost enough to be a beater, 5A learner on a metal, and thanks to the zipper case, a nice grab-and-go EDC you can toss in your bag and not have to worry about it. Very happy with this purchase. Hopefully you feel the same way.

This Yoyo is a great way for anyone to get started into this hobby. Very smooth, long spin time, wide gap so tricks are easier to hit, and the finger spin dimple so the DNA can be done by anyone with a little practice! Recommend by me, a hobbyist that has been doing this for 15 years!

Nice, balanced and great for my son

Great yoyo . Its smooth. Light weight

It's a great yo-yo I haven't played with it very long also I would recommend you lube the axle with some oil yoyo oil that you can get it would help with making it so it's easier to get the bearing on and taking it apart when you have to fix it
