Green Merlin Professional Responsive Yoyo with Narrow C Bearing and Extra String

I am super impressed with this Responsive YoYo! It easily holds up against much higher-priced brands, making it economical as a carry-around or even as a giveaway to kids to get them into the hobby. For the price, it really can't be beaten. The performance is phenomenal for an inexpensive plastic yo-yo with caps. It is responsive and returns to your hand on tug, with a slim-type bearing, which usually has limitations, but this one has been amazing. I'm able to easily do fixed axle tricks, traditional classic tricks, and even modern responsive string tricks with ease. The spin times are great and it comes with extra string and replacement pads if ever needed. All in all, as much as I can't believe it, this will probably be one of my go-to yoyos for when I'm out and about because I know it's reliable, and if something ever happens to it or I pass it on to someone wanting to learn, I can easily get a replacement for a great price.

I am a 42 year old child that loves yo-yo's. I am not a pro more like a life long beginner to intermediate yo-yo'er at best. I do the basics like round the world, rock the cradle, and man on the flying trapeze. This Yo-Yo King MERLIN is pretty nice for my skill level it has a decent weight to get a good sleep and responds well without being overly responsive and without breaking your hand when it returns. It also has a good shape that fits well in my hand and is easy to land on the string. It feels pretty sturdy and well made with a good balance "does not vibrate" while sleeping. Put a drop of good yo-yo thin lube on the bearing and it will sleep for days! I have many yo-yo's "Duncan's, Yomega's, Magic Yo's" of all models and I like like them all but I think this Yo-Yo King MERLIN will be my carry around every day yo-yo and for $10 its a steal for a nice bearing yo-yo.... Great product and will buy again...

When first getting it, there wasn't much that I knew about it. I have a few yoyo kings, but nothing impressed me except the double agent so far and that's irrelevant as that's a metal unresponsive yoyo.So what did I get? Well first it is made from a glossy plastic. The photos make it look like a soft plastic, but no. Thos materiel is hard and shiny.In the hand, it first feels like a flimsy, cheap, yoyo for a 7 year old, but no. It performs really well. It even loops more friendly than my similar shaped yoyos. I honestly thought this would be a shelf yoyo and I got one to put in my throw rotation.Well met yoyo king!!! Well met!

I've been looking for a higher qualityyo-yo than I've had in the past. When I was younger (8-16) the Duncan Imperialwas the standard "better" quality yo-yo. I don't recall even seeing other brands available at the toy store. Now I'm 65 and retired. Although I still have a couple of Duncan yo-yo's from the late 50's to early 60's (which are cool to have the authentic ones) a few months back I found them packed away with things from my past. I put new string on it and tried a few throws had relearn how to throw it. I've been practicing the basic throws and tricks steadily improving (I know,,,I'm old but it's still fun trying) on technique. My Duncan felt light, difficult for me to catch and didn't spin long so I researched higher quality yo-yo's and was surprised bearings, adjustable shafts, materials, etc... 🤔 I wanted a HIGH QUALITY YO-YO but didn't want to pay pay a high price. I read reviews on many and noticed the MERLIN was consistently highly rated so I purchased two. The MERLIN far surpasses any yo-yo I've ever tried. It fits my hand well, perfect weight, spins long and fast and is easy to catch. I love it! I'm the best 65 year old yo-yo'er in town. 😁👍🏻 Additionally, THE YO-YO KING has been a real pleasure to purchase from. I think, Lar's, founder of THEYO-YO KING, has built a business selling quality products at a reasonable price and outstanding CUSTOMER SERVICE. I highly recommend THE YO-YO KING for quality, value and fulfilling my order in a timely fashion. Thanks Lar's!

Added to my cart so I could qualify for overnight shipping in something else I needed. This was priced super cheap and I got it for my girlfriend. We love it. Great responsiveness and spin. Not big on the green color but that was the only one on sale. Easy for beginner and good for an advanced yo yo as well. Sleeps real good. Looks pretty cool.

I've used this for about 2 hours total and it went from an awesome yoyo with long sleep times (20 sec easily) and now it won't go for more than 5 seconds. I assume it's the bearing, but I don't know. Very disappointing, especially considering the old Duncan in my drawer, while not as good as the King, didn't suddenly have a quality dropoff.

This is a great yoyo. If you're a beginner moving into an intermediate skill level, this is probably one of the best yoyo's you can buy.The construction is top notch. The plastic is very durable and has a lot of weight to it. I've hit it on the ground over a dozen times and it barely has a scratch. It's very balanced and spin times are excellent. If I throw a strong sleeper it spins for well over a minute.What's great about this yoyo is it's almost custom tailored to make the transition from beginner to intermediate skill level. It is responsive so beginners will be able to pick it up and throw it into a sleeper and still have it return to them with a simple tug. Even though it's responsive though, you can still do a lot of string tricks especially the ones you start learning at the intermediate level. I have no problem doing man on the flying trapeeze, split the atom, and double or nothing.I recommend this yoyo to anyone that wants to learn how to do string tricks but isn't ready to do binds yet. It does return to your hand with a simple tug, has long sleep times, doesn't get tied up if you land the yoyo on the string a few times, and allows you to do intermediate tricks. For it's price point and target audience this is one of the best you can buy.
