Five Bearings Chinese Yoyo 5” Diabolo Toy with Fiberglass Diablo Sticks & String with Drawstring Bag (Translucent Purple)

This Chinese yo-yo is well made however you should be aware of a major flaw! My son is very good with his Chinese yo-yo and got this for his sister so she could learn too. While it is well made, the yo-yo is made of a softer, flexible material. The problem with this is that when you get the yo-yo spinning fast the force changes the shape of the yo-yo and causes it to wobble. This makes learning more difficult tricks more difficult. I wish we had realized it was not hard plastic prior to purchasing it as we would have returned it. (She had already used it for a few days before we realized the problem and couldn’t return it at that point.)

I used to play Chinese Yoyo when I was a kid. Now I would like to teach my son how to play it. The OVOKIA Five Bearings Chinese Yoyo we ordered arrived just on time and soon I opened it I was pretty happy for it's overall quality. More importantly, the unit perfectly balanced. My son quickly learned how to play it just after a few days of practice. Now he loves it. Will recommend it to anyone who want to learn Chinese Yoyo.

Having never touched one before, within a couple hours my nephew and I have gotten fairly good at some basic tricks. We can launch one back and forth indefinitely and are now learning how to toss two simultaneously back and forth. I'm no expert, but they seem well built. One started wobbling but it was just that a nut had come a little loose and needed tightening. We discovered by accident that you need to have one side or the other facing you depending on your preferred power arm/direction of rotation. These are great fun during the covid isolation.

My Diabolo came in the mail and I was very excited to use it. I noticed the string was too long and also cheaply made because I had a hard time getting it to spin. Also a tip to whoever buys it, if you are left-handed like me, the orange mark should be facing you, if you're right handed you use the diabolo with the orange facing out.

The string broke the first day my son was playing with it. They did include a replacement string in package. Maybe a smaller size would be better for children? The full size toy & long string is very hard for him (an 11 year old) to manage.

Little heavy from what I guess is normal and make sure to keep it tight.

It works, but the string coming off the stick and one of the handles also keeps coming off of the stick.

my 7 year old LOVES IT. can do the most amazing tricks.
