WATIEOBOOYoyo R8 Responsive Yoyo for Kids 8-12,,Professional Unresponsive Yoyo for Adults Pro Metal Trick Yoyo with Yo Yo Bearing Kit 10 Strings, Case & Gloves (W21-Black and Blue)

This yoyo feels a bit light, but I can't find my scale to weight it. Performance is kind of floaty. It likes to move slow, but you can push it faster but not godspeed fast. This is more of a "chill/relax" yoyo, great for casual play, but could step up to competition if you wanted it to.The yoyo itself pops with the gold/black colorway with the laser etched graphics, brand and model. Thank you. Easy to identify products are much appreciated, especially as this will be part of a very large yoyo collection. The shiny appearance is because the yoyo does not have a surface treatment. Grinds are not recommended on this yoyo as there is maximum friction due to the smooth surface. While I could use the included yoyo glove, I don't like using yoyo gloves, so I didn't. I like to do grinds and this one has the type of shape that can do it, but you need to use a glove to make it happen.The yoyo comes stock with a lube flat C bearing that I immediately swapped for the included curved bearing. This was made easy thanks to the included bearing puller. Response appears to be a 19mm OD slim pad(YYF), so it's easily replaced and could be siliconed if you're into that.My impression is this is still a fun yoyo, definitely a good purchase and I'm keeping it. It could DNA but it won't last long. This can also be a good 5A yoyo. It played smooth. It was light for my preferences and I do admit I like things 67+ grams. The slower play is going to be a nice attribute as you're learning complicated tricks and work on your technique. This also makes this fantastic for newer players into unresponsive play because the floaty play and large catch zone will help players learn tricks and skills. It's also low enough in price to be a EDC, especially in the included zipper case that prevents damage.

Nice looking and works well.

This is a great yoyo for either beginners or intermediate yoyo enthusiasts. Comes with enough strings for tangles, a carrying case that works great, and a glove for spinning tricks. We really like the black and blue art style. Not a bad option if you like the color scheme.

This yo-yo is well put together and works as advertised. My 7 year old learned how to do many professional tricks with this yo-yo. Highly recommend.

This is a nice improvement from the last version of this yoyo also. The finish of this yoyo makes is optimal to do finger spins and the dna yoyo tricks.Great for beginners. You get a nice yoyo without the huge price tag. It has all the qualities of the higher end stuff .

Buen Yoyo para Iniciar , hasta ahora sin problemas

This was very poor performance yo yo! My son Was expecting a good performance yo yo as he spent his birthday money on it! He was very disappointed and it’s horrible yo yo!

The media could not be loaded. Got my hands on the new R8 from Watieoboo. This yoyo is capable of responsive and unresponsive play. Box arrived with the yoyo in the responsive set up, perfect for responsive play right away. This makes it a very suitable introduction for someone with little to no knowledge of yoyos. One can practice the basics of yoyoing with this set up. Once the fundamentals have been learned and able to bind, the additional unresponsive bearing can then be installed on the yoyo to replace the responsive bearing and learn more awesome tricks. Oh, did I forget to mention that the bearing and axle removal tools are included with this purchase? 😀I mostly played with the yoyo on this set up which I had fun with! I'm still learning additional tricks myself and this yoyo is also a good choice for it. It's not as stable as a bi-metal yoyo, but it does the job. Finger spins aren't feasible for me at the moment as this maybe because of skill but also this yoyo has very flat central cups. All in all, still a good yoyo especially for beginners because of the responsive capability.
