My son has been obsessed with YoYos for a few weeks. He came across the offset yo-yos on YouTube and we ordered a set right away. He's learned a few tricks at 6.5 years old. He says the variant generates lots of spin and easy to use for tricks. He can't wait to get a few other yo-yos for his birthday

This is a good transition from a beginner yo-yo to the ascent. I have this yo-yo; it spins for a long time and is quite stable. One issue is the string it ships with. As this is more targeted to beginners, they may not have better strings, and the string it ships with doesn't hold its tension well.
