Requires some tinkering but a fantastic learner yoyo

Requires some tinkering but a fantastic learner yoyo
I bought this yoyo to practice throwing breakaways into a trapeze and it worked amazingly for an hour before losing its responsiveness. It's really hit-or-miss on whether it will want to come back up, so I changed the bearing and string. Now it's performing fantastically again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like the product, just wish I knew they also sold an option with the higher skill bearing as well...
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017
Color: BlueVerified Purchase
Have been looking for a decent intermediate level yo-yo for a while and decided to go with this one. It came with three strings and 2 what I can only best describe and flexible o rings though not sure what they are actually called. The yo-yo works great and sleeps really well and is easy to untangle when you really screw up a trick your learning. Really the only two minor changes I would make to switch it from a 4 star to a 5 star review is adding one or two pictures to the instructions to make it more clear how to attatch a new string to the yo-yo for people who have never attatched a string before or not in over a decade and forgot how, because while the wording on the instructions do a good job, if you just glance at the instructions because of the first picture being putting the string on your finger and the second picture being the final step of putting the string on the yo-yo you could easily misinterpret the pictures to where you put on the string wrong and it becomes a beginner level yo-yo that can not sleep as a pose to intermediate level one. While I did eventually figure it out, because of the pictures the installing of the string could confuse those just learning who have not changed a string (or in my case not changed on in over a decade) before.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect starter yo-yo
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020
Color: BlueVerified Purchase
I would consider myself a beginner even though I have thrown yo-yo's for many years. I always had yo-yo's as a kid but never was any good with them. I recently got a couple dollar store yo-yo's for my son and myself and we had fun with them, but when we started watching trick videos even the beginner one's were very hard. After a month of practicing with (what I now know) were trash yo-yo's, my son and I got one of these Merlin's and a Fireball. This yo-yo is amazing! Right out of the box, on my first throw I pulled off a perfect walk the dog :)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing; ultra smooth, very quiet, sleeps forever, and responsive when needed.
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

What a great yoyo, and what amazing customer service. Seriously.

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun and cheap
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022
Color: RedVerified Purchase
Right out of the box it’s not very impressive probably cause the bearings were dry but after applying a small amount of thin yo-yo lube it was an awesome fun toy that can sleep for quite a while and still come back allowing for a good bit of tricks before having to bind back up. Overall I’m happy with my purchase for 15$ I didn’t except to have this much fun lol

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.
