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

Bought these Duncan Yo Yo's and a package of Extra Strings for my 2 Sons, who live is different places in Texas, they are around the 50 year old mark, but I have always played with Yo Yo's, so I thought these were good for the boys too. They are Ball Bearing, and have LED lights the turn on when they are spinning, Nice item to purchase, price is right, and its a Good Choice for new Yo Yo learners.

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.

I have not played with a Duncan yoyo in many many years. I saw this and had to buy one. So glad I did ! My wife thinks I'm crazy but at 62 yrs old I feel like a kid again ! These things have not changed a bit . Except the price of course. I can still " walk the dog " and " make the cradle " after all these years . Still a lot of fun to play with. Especially in the dark with it all lit up !! Hahahaha . So cool .

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 . . .

Amazing product and fun for all ages very durable, easy to use for all skill levels

I have been wanting to get back into using a Yo Yo for a long time and I seen Duncan had a light up Pulse Yo Yo so, I thought I'd give it a whirl and WOW it is AWESOME! I highly recommend it!

Works great for a kid, but I feel the string is a bit long for him. Because of the long string, my son ended up making a knot and it wasn't as fun, then later he ended up breaking it - the string came out. He only had it for like a month and I need to buy new strings for him.
