Duncan Toys Barracuda Yoyo 3614XP-RD

As someone who has recently gotten back into yoyo-ing, from the days when the Butterfly and Imperial were Duncan staples, this is an incredible upgrade, even comparing with other modern yoyos of today. It has a good weight to it, so you have wonderful spin times and control, but not too hefty that it causes return problems. It is an unresponsive yoyo, which means you have to learn a bind technique to get it to come back, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and it gives you a wider potential for tricks. I've picked up a lot of modern yoyos since coming back, and this is definitely one of my new favorites. I can pump out move after move and even when I think it's slowing down a lot, it will snap right back at the bind. It's truly impressive, plus the splash design and barracuda are just awesome aesthetically, and it's great to see that Duncan still has an excellent product, and has evolved well. Highly recommended!

If you want a yoyo that doesn’t break the banks and will let you learn and do any trick a general hobbyist could learn, this is it. The sleep time is good, balanced, and not too heavy for a metal yoyo if you’re not experienced. My only drawback is the name/image design, it’s not trendy haha.

First of all it is important to say...THIS IS NOT A RESPONSIVE YOYO. It does NOT come back up by pulling. You need to learn how to do a bind trick to wind the string up. Please do research before buying.Secondly...Arrived in great condition. Did NOT break with use.Third...GREAY YOYO!!! Well balanced. Great hang time when tossing out of a trapeze, cool sound, and an awesome splash finish. It is ok for grinds, but you will either need a glove or fingernail to do fingerspins or DNA.Good weight, but a little chunky. You definitely feel it in the string hits, BUT that is a good thing for free hand/counterweight yoyo-ing.Overall 8 out of 10. Awesome cheaper yoyo, worth the purchase, and its duncan so you can count on some quality. Don't know what the one star reviews are on about.

Got this for my boyfriend so him and his bestie can have their yoyo play dates together and it's perfect

This is amazing in the hands of a pro. Lots of time to get it to retract but you best be doubling the string. It's impossible to get it back without doubling the string. Spins forever but it spins so easily it kind of took the fun out of a lot of tricks.
