Poor quality yo-yo.

1. You can't choose a color and when I ordered 2 I got 2 in the same color which is disappointing.2. You can actually tighten them, but the quality of the string is so poor that a simple yo-yo tangle will result in weird bumps and knots. Yo-yo doesn't hold a slip knot well either.4. Even a simple yo-yo trick like the gravity pull won't work with this yo-yo. There is a nice fleur de lis on one side which is nice. All in all: a very inferior Y-Yo that I absolutely cannot recommend to anyone.

Pros
  • SMART DESIGN: The Imperial Yo-Yo is specially designed with narrow string spacing, steel axle and plastic body making it perfect for loop tricks and simple string tricks.
Cons
  • Reliability

That's a great yo-yo! So many people give negative feedback because they don't know how to use it. You can't just drop it and expect it to show up! The string wraps nicely around the axle if you do it right! It's a quality product, but it requires the user to understand HOW to use it. Buy extra strings, strings wear out and break after heavy use. Go to YouTube and check out the "How to do yo-yo" reviews. You don't walk up and down alone.

Pros
  • PRODUCT DETAILS: Starburst Response System. Weighs 51.7g 1 yoyo included. Colors may vary.
Cons
  • Slightly torn

This is NOT returnable and just upset the 6 year old I bought it for.

Was looking for an entry level yo-yo for my 6 year old daughter and came across this one. She was so excited when it arrived that she took it and unwrapped it. It didn't even start lifting and when she tried to roll it back up she just got frustrated and frustrated. Then I tried it and I couldn't get any tension. I didn't know anything about the auto return yo-yo, so I asked for a return and bought one of the auto return yo-yos. It's greatly appreciated so I've come to the conclusion that our…

moderate quality for outdoor sports and play

My son was so happy to spend his $6 to have his own yoyo shipped right to our door. Unfortunately, it didn't work from the start. First, the discs were bent so that the gap wasn't exactly around the entire perimeter. Second, I understand that there are essentially two types of yo-yos - this one wasn't sure what it wanted to be. Maybe responsive, maybe immune, maybe a window-shattering projectile if hurled violently through space. The gold letters also faded quickly. Hm. After reading the…

Pros
  • Great for beginners
Cons
  • Speed of operation

Like high school - great!

It has been very interesting to play with this yo-yo after so many years since I last played it in high school over 20 years ago. I've never been an expert with yo-yos, but I was able to do a few tricks. Then if you had a yo-yo, it had to be Duncan! When my kids both got a cheap pair of yoyos for Christmas, I was very disappointed that the rope was attached to the axle and prevented the yoyo from "sleeping" as I recalled when I used to be able to do it with my Duncans. I decided to order…

Pros
  • Steel axle for smooth rotation

Ignore most reviews. Just not this one.

So my yo-yo level is average I would say and I've had quite a few yo-yos in my life. I have a $20 yo-yo that I love very much, but as a collector I never get enough. When I saw this $3 Imperial delivered to my door, I threw all my fears and bad reviews to the wind. I thought is this yo-yo really THAT worse than the one I had as a kid? Well the truth is I don't remember haha. But for $3, what are we complaining about? Probably there was so much "once", so the fact that they are now made in China

Pros
  • BEGINNER GOOD: The Imperial Red Yoyo is one of Duncan's beginner yoyo models designed to teach you the basics. Great for kids and teens.
Cons
  • Many things
