Duncan Toys ProYo Looper Yo-Yo, Beginner Yo-Yo with String, Wooden Axle and Plastic Body, Mystery Color

All my boys went with a Duncan when they grew up. Now it's my youngest boy's turn. Learning some tricks and showing off. Even before bedtime, he needs to throw in a couple more spins before laying down.

Poor quality and broke. Yoyo doesnt go back up

The yo-yos were great good for the price still working to this day

This is a pretty darn good looper. It is pretty much exactly like the PlayMaxx Proyo2 fom the late 90's. It has a good hand feel, and a good weight to it. The wooden axle system is very odd to me, but makes for great looping. I can still get it to sleep well and can even do around the world with it, but more complicate string tricks are OUT! If you are 'into' Yoyo's you should own one of these. I got two to start getting into two handed looping tricks.

Very unhappy. Did not come with a CD-ROM like the description stated. In addition the string gets caught inside the yo-yo making it so the yo-yo can not unwind. It is unusable. I would return it but the packaging got thrown away.

The yo-yo is great, but the seller (or Amazon, as this is sold by them?) doesn’t bother to allow color selection. They give you whatever they give you. This is clearly indicated on the product page, but doesn’t excuse them from the docked stars. With kids, color choice is a must. That way you avoid siblings receiving the same color, etc.

Not a real trickster, but I have been YoYo-ing for decades. I can use both hands etc. I like these. They have some changes over the old one I also have. They will unscrew. Tighten when you open them. That fact revealed a wooden washer on the sides of the spindle which was interesting. They also have soft domes on the sides, which is good if you carry them in your back pocket. The old ones could crack. Overall, the balance is good, as in any Duncan (even the mini), and the slightly wider rim gives better impact dispersion on return. I am always glad to see Duncan Yo-Yos on store shelves.

Picking a yo yo can be challenging especially when it is over the internet..I had a Duncan Butterfly as a kid and was looking to purchase a few for my kids...grabbed this one along with three others..turns out that this yo yo is better than the others which cost up to 20.00 each...handles really well especially when going round the world or walking the dog etc...so no matter what you order get one of these as well.
