Toys Pulse LED Light-Up Yo-Yo, Intermediate Level Yo-Yo with Ball Bearing Axle and LED Lights, Clear/Red, Small

My grandson literally lit up when he got this for Christmas (it has an LED lighting circuit with a centrifugal clutch that turns it on when the yo-yo is spinning.) Balance is good, the string is first rate cotton, and I find it easy to show my tricks to my grandson. A good, classical gift.

Bought this as a stocking stuffer at Christmas for my girlfriend. We're kids stuck in adult bodies. It's smooth, easy, and fun, for beginners and experienced alike. The two hemispheres come apart for easy access to the string if tangling occurs. An extra battery is provided if the battery to the LED lights should die. The ball bearing axle keeps the yo yo spinning well while in the down position, so tricks like "rock the baby" and "walk the dog" are done with ease. I did both tricks easily without having done them before. My girlfriend is from the Philippines (where the yo yo was invented), and can do more intermediate tricks. She puts heavy use on it and it's holding up fine. We leave it out, and everyone who stops in will pick it up and have a go at it. I love that it lights up. It gives tricks a little extra kick, and makes outdoor use that much more fun (in the evening). There were a couple of downfalls, but nothing serious regarding the yo yo's operation. If I were a 12 year old, instead of an adult, I would be VERY unhappy that it came in a transparent yellow, and not the clear plastic. It still looks cool, so no big deal. But, if I were 12, I would be down right angry about one side of the yo yo not lighting up. I changed the battery, however, it seemed to be a defect in a metal piece that wasn't completing the circuit to the battery. If we held it in place, it worked. The defect is nothing to worry about, Duncan makes good yo yos and I have never bought a defected one in the past. Even now, the defect doesn't affect the performance, and I could of had it replaced if I cared enough to. It gets a lot of use, and praise. We will be buying another when this one puts its best days behind it.

Great yo-yo my son is 8 loves it. Has a smooth roll no issues or knots. Been using for about 2 weeks already, takes it everywhere.

This is a fun yo-yo, the first I've used in half a century. Yoyos of olde were wood and never had lights, but the lights are a great addition, as is the ball bearings spinner that keeps it spinning longer than the old ones. For the price, this is a great toy. I look forward to fighting with my grandson over who's going to play with it. As an afterthought, I bought a pack of replacement strings because the string needs to be trimmed shorter for little people (grandpas need longer ones) and because yoyo strings eventually get twisty knots in them and need to be replaced. UPDATE. I gave the yoyo to my grandson at the Thanksgiving 2018 gathering and was bemused to find how much his father, other grandfather, and other adults played with it. You definitely need the extra strings (Duncan-brand come in a pack with multiple colors) but I found you also need a SECOND YOYO so you can play it "with" the child at the same time, that is, so you can demonstrate and do tricks on yours, with your long yoyo string, at the same time the child learns to use it with his shorter one. The lights change colors and are brighter and more impressive when the yoyo spins at higher speeds, and they dim-out at low, whimpy speeds. You need to operate it competently for the lights to dazzle at maximum advantage. I found a number of very good instructional yoyo videos on YouTube that contain useful beginner tips and tricks ("walk the doggie", "rock the baby", etc.) and recommend checking them out yourself before demonstrating the yoyo to a child. It's better for them to be impressed, rather than you be embarrassed. Discard the packaging beforehand. View the videos and practice with it beforehand. Hand it to the child out of your pocket rather than out of the package. Bigger fun that way . . .

Great yo-yo for kids and adults too. Much better than the cheaper Duncan yoyo bought earlier.

Ah, the yo-yo: the OG fidget-thingie for attention-challenged humans of all ages. Fits in your pocket as any proper fidgetable thing ought to, and with which state-of-play can be as plain or fancy as you wish. I'm anything but a trick-throwing svengali, but I've managed to amass several 'yos as an adult: a few of Duncan's "classic" all-wood pro reissues from the early-aughts, and a Yomega Power Brain X. And then started thinking about something that lit up while spinning. "Silly kid stuff", I thought for a split-second, but then thought "hold it...it's ALL 'kid stuff' but so what?" Which is to say it's also about not taking everything so blasted seriously. Yo-yos are about cutting loose for a few minutes, letting your mind freewheel a bit. And, once in a while, it's cool to light things up - and this Duncan does that just fine, without getting too much in the way of the yo-yo-ing bit, meaning it has decent action and responsiveness; not exactly as snappy as my wooden Classics, but close enough to just be fun, and also adjustable if you insist on some mid-air trickery (Walking the Dog is about as fancy as I care to get). Not certain how far one can get on a single set of batteries, but if it manages at least a year of casual use, I'll consider it good. Recommended.

This is a really cool responsive yoyo that truly is for intermediate responsive players. Good for ages 8 and up I would say, this is a great and flashy way to have some fun. This is the duncan limelight, but with a metal bearing for longer spin instead of a plastic one or a fixed axle. You can do most simple tricks, but DO REPLACE THE STRING FIRST. The string that it comes with it is counterproductive to the response system. If you don't care about the technicals then yeah, buy this yoyo. It is a lot of fun. Just get a new string on there, break it in, and enjoy! Who knows, maybe you'll try unresponsive yoyo-ing next.

Worked as it should however had a problem with the order from the supplier.

Nos encantó este juguete pues además de buen funcionamiento y material tiene luz al girar

Still work fine after 5 years

Perfecto me llego en buenas condiciones funciona bien. Son de los mejores yoyós que existen en el mercado. Todo bien.

Esta hecho de material ligero y resistente, gira y funciona muy bien.

Yoyo is imbalanced and always tiltied to the left. Also can't stay spinning, and always roll back after releasing the yoyo. So, can't do any yoyo trick.
