This diabolo is a joke. It`s so flimsy and cheaply made that it broke within the first week of use. As my tests showed, it's almost impossible to spin for more than a few seconds without the whole thing collapsing in on itself .The only positive aspect is the blue color, which is pretty. In the end, it's just another disappointing addition to the vast array of poorly made toys and games out there. Save your money and look elsewhere IN the Puppets & Puppet Theaters category..
