My son took a circus arts class and loved it. We bought this afterwards and he’s mastering his skills. Good value and seems sturdy

Brand new, this diabolo works like a dream. It is so smooth, it feels like its floating. I have thrown this three stories and failed to catch it, but it received nothing more than a scratch. The secret is in the way that the plastic is slightly bendy, so that upon impact, it flexes slightly to cushion the fall. I have had this about four years and it is just now showing signs of age. The hand cusions tend to fall off the sticks but a little super glue fixes this. Altogether, an excellent product!

"I purchased this Chinese yo-yo for my 7-year-old son, and it's been a huge hit! The yo-yo is beautifully crafted with intricate designs and a sturdy build. The diabolo style takes some getting used to, but with a little practice, my son was able to master the basics.The included instructions were helpful, and the string was easy to adjust. The yo-yo itself is well-balanced and smooth to operate. My son loves performing tricks and stunts with it, and it's been a great way to develop his hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.For the price, I was impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of this yo-yo. It's a classic toy that's perfect for kids and adults alike. Highly recommend!"

Overall this is a fantastic diabolo. The carbon sticks are a wonderful upgrade and the string provided was perfectly adequate. I did replace the string with Sundia's UV yellow as it matches the color better and is of a slightly higher caliber in my opinion, however, I did use the string that came with this diabolo and had no issues with it after a day of heavy use.I love the material chosen for the body as it is durable, yet reasonably pliable without sacrifice structure during the spin. This is the first triple bearing diabolo I have tried and I must say that I like it. The prolonged spin makes it very easy to do a number of tricks that were not so easy with my first fixed-center diabolo. It is worth mentioning that there is no way to do the string climbing trick with this triple bearing that I have found, but there are other tricks that can be done not possible with a fixed so it is a bit of a trade-out.The only thing I might suggest if this is a first diabolo purchase for a child is that one goes with the 4" model or something smaller instead as this one is on the large side. This is great for me at nearly 6' tall, but I imagine it could be more difficult to handle for someone 4'-5' in height.The seller is also quick to respond with any questions or issues you may have. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

Son loves this thing. It has a bearing in the middle which apparently some knock offs don't have so it is 'the real deal' or at least a better copy than others. I didn't do a lot of research on these before buying and opted to spend a little more than the cheaper options and I'm glad i did - this one is a good version.My only complaint is that it is all one color so you can't see it spinning when it gets going. It's impressive to see talented people fling this thing around, but if it had some marking to tell how fast it was spinning it would be more impressive. My son, however, doesn't care so I'm giving it 5 stars anyway.

This diabolo is great for people who are professionals and for those who are looking for inexpensive diabolos. It spins really fast and is smooth. However I do not recommend using the strings that come with it because the grip falls off and the string is cheap. I highly recommend using a different set of sticks. Otherwise, the diabolo is great!

The diablo itself is perfect, lightweight, and durable. The only thing that really sucked was the string. The second day it ripped and every time I kept tieing a knot for it to stay it would always rip off. Cheap string even the extra string they send you is the same . so if you're gonna buy this diablo plan on buying some different sticks and string. Sorry not sorry
