The balance is great! Good long spin times with a healthy weight. Now this is where this item outshines the yoyo packages. A duncan, a magicyoyo, and a different metal yomega.

This yo-yo has a metal embossed collector's box, three strings, a yoyo tool, and a counterweight. It's a tiny bit smaller than the plastic butterfly yo-yos i grew up with.

The alloy aluminum is very sturdy and yet very light to hold and spin. It works great but is made of aluminum, so when you get hit with it by your child it will leave a mark. Good for beginner or advance users.
