The only other change I would make, isn't to the product itself but the Amazon page, have it have two options "Yo-yo King Merlin Blue narrow C bearing" and "Yo-yo King Merlin BlueNarrow and Wide C bearing" to make it easier for someone who is maybe looking for an intermediate yo-yo but wants to be able to change it to an advanced yo-yo as their skills improve... Looking at the instructions given with the product it does look like they offer that as an option, just the Amazon page doesn't show that so I would have never known they have that as a option.
All in all, while there are better yo-yos for beginners, I would honestly say that this yo-yo can really handle fairly beginner, as well as intermediate and advanced. The shape feels good to throw, Its got a decent weight to it, easy to take apart and untangle, all in all it's a yo-yo that if your looking for something to learn with is really well made.
This yo-yo is like cheating.. I am already working on my 5th trick. All the ones I wanted to do as a kid I can finally do. My son ended up liking this Merlin better than the Fireball he got, but they are both a lot of fun. This Merlin is just so smooth and easy to control, it is amazing what a difference it is between every other yo-yo I have ever tried before.
Pros- Super smooth action, completely responsive.. just a flick of my finger and It returns, super long spins! I can even do the old rock the baby and return it.. it spins forever. Solid construction, very well put together, came with extra strings and extra silicon rings.
Cons-none that I can see
At this price you can't go wrong ordering one of these Merlin yo-yo's, I enjoyed yo-yo'ing but this yo-yo has made it 1000 times more fun. I took it to work today and practiced at lunch, lol.. too fun to leave home.
When I originally bought the Merlin, I was kind of confused as the yoyo would make a decent amount of noise while sleeping. I sent an email to yoyoplay and Steve couldn't have been more helpful! He sent out a replacement package immediately with tracking number.
A couple days later I had it in my hands. The one I got originally must have been damaged in the mail because the replacement is un-freaking-believable. It's gotta be one of the smoothest, quietest, and longest sleeping yoyo ever made. I mean this thing will sleep forever and the bearing barely makes a sound.
I couldn't be happier with the Merlin, yoyoplay could charge much more for this considering how it performs! It can sleep forever when I want to do string tricks, but as soon as I want it to be responsive it instantly climbs back up the string. It truly is the best of both worlds, beginners and pros would love it!
It has been 2 months since I got the Merlin and it still holds up the same way it did when I got it.
Best yoyo hands down, and best customer service too! Other amazon companies should take note, Yoyoplay is a textbook example of excellent customer service that goes above and beyond.
Edit: after less than 2 days of use the response pads have stretched and won’t fit back into the groves so new ones are needed already. I’m not sure if it’s cause they don’t use any kind of adhesive or the heat or what but the fact that I haven’t even had it a week and already had to use the replacement pads that also don’t come with any adhesive really kills the product for me. I was lead to believe response pads last until worn, well not in this yo-yo unfortunately maybe some better pads would make it better but as of now I’m knocking down 2 stars since I know these pads won’t last long either so I’ll have to get my own replacements which I don’t really want to id rather just send this junk back with the worn pads and let them deal with it. I shouldn’t have to replace a part within a week of use smh.
