Review on Yoyo King Merlin Ball Bearing String by Mike Vargas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect entry-level yo-yo

I consider myself a beginner although I have been throwing yo-yos for many years. I always had yo-yos as a kid, but I never knew how to use them. I recently bought a pair of dollar yyos for me and my son and we had fun with them, but once we started watching trick videos even beginners had a hard time. After a month of (now I know) junk yo-yos, my son and I got one of these Merlins and Fireballs. This yo-yo is amazing! Right out of the box, on the first throw, I walked the dog perfectly :) This yo-yo is like cheating. I'm already working on my 5th trick. I can finally do everything I wanted to do as a child. My son liked this Merlin more than the Fireball but they are both great fun. This Merlin is so smooth and easy to control that it's amazing how different it is from any other yo-yo I've tried before. just a flick of your finger and it comes back, super long spins! I can even make an old rock baby and bring it back. it spins forever. Sturdy construction, very well built, comes with extra strings and extra silicone rings. Disadvantages - I do not see. At this price you can't go wrong ordering one of these Merlin yoyos. I loved the yoyo but it was 1000 times more fun with this yoyo. I took it to work today and worked out at lunch lol. too fun to leave the house.

Pros
  • C-size narrow quick-release bearing that wakes up. These yoyos are adorable!
Cons
  • Nothing here
