Ghost Bi Metal Aluminum and Steel Professional Trick Yoyo with Ball Bearing Axle and Extra String … (Silver)

This can be set up as responsive (returns on a tug) or nonresponsive. The adjustment requires only swapping the bearing out. The responsive bearing, which is the narrower one, is incredibly smooth and silent. There's no vibe in the throw at all. The nonresponsive, wider bearing, even after adding some machine oil is rougher. It's odd to see a sleep run longer on a responsive set up, but that's the case with this one. I don't know if the bimetal adds stability or not, but it is a very stable, long running throw. The landing area is wide for string tricks. It comes in black or silver, and I bought the silver. The finish is very, very good, and it's an eye catching yo yo. On a bright string, it really pops. I have it on neon yellow now, but a neon blue would be really sharp. I'm really enjoying playing with this yo yo. Quality of the build, other than the issue noted with the nonresponsive bearing, is easily as good as my Duncan Windrunner. It's hard to beat a Duncan bearing though.

I actually really like this yoyo. For a cheap-end bi metal, it’s held up incredibly well for past few months.Much like the Space Monkey, the Ghost (both are made by the same company) is a jack of all trades but master of none. Then again, it’s not meant to be. It’s meant to be a bi metal than can act as a “beater” throw if you want. Carry it with you, scratch it up; it’s not expensive and is fun to use.The shape is a V profile with rounded off rims. This makes the Ghost a bit better for speed combos than its Space Monkey counterpart in my opinion. If you use a glove, some ok-ish finger grinds/ finger spins are possible but they’ll never be as great as say a YoYofficer Yacare. Again, it’s not trying to be something like that though.For the one I’ve got, where it shines is pure spin time and stability. When it comes to sheer spin time, mine is able to go toe to toe with much more expensive bi metals like my iYoYo Iceberg or Yoku Euler, both of which are way more expensive. Couple that with the inherient stability it has, and it’s a great yoyo to use when learning new tricks especially longer combos.As an added bonus, my particular Ghost is dead quiet. That comes in handy if I want to throw while watching a show or listening to music.The only con I have for this one would be the response pads; they’re pretty slippy. If you’re an experienced player on the unresponsive scene, this won’t be the worst in thing in the world. However, players new to unresponsive yoyos are going to have a rough time with this one.In short, it’s a good bi metal for what it is. I’ve found myself throwing it into a backpack to go to work with me so I can have a fun yoyo on hand while not worrying about it receiving some cosmetic damage. If you’re on the fence, give it a shot.

the aluminum body and stainless steel rims gives it amazing spin time and stability, making it perfect for long, complex combos. It feels super smooth and responsive during play, and the build quality is top-notch. My only small gripe is that it’s a bit unforgiving on mistakes — definitely geared more toward experienced throwers. Still, an excellent yo-yo with near pro-level performance. Highly recommend for intermediate to advanced players!

I ordered two. One for my husband (75 Years old) and his friend (68 years old) I have never seen these guys so excited. Talk about bring up memories of the fun from yesteryear and they fun they just started having. So glad you had them!

Great toy for reliving your childhood, with a modern design. I love it.

It was great out of the box mine needed live after a few throws but after putting live in it got unresponsive naive again and was super quiet best yoyo I ever bought

I paid 40 for this yoyo, i knew i could get it for 30 but i wanted it immediately so i paid the extra 10. I own many yoyos and this performs like many of my under $20 yoyos. Finger spins can be done but its not great at them, spin time is mediocre, and finger grinds are average. It does have a nice look though. Its almost identical in size and shape to my iceberg but doesnt perform nearly as well. Gonna go on my yoyo shelf and probably never get used because no matter what your doing theres better options. For 20 or 30 its ok for 40 dollars its not worth it. May as well add another 20 bucks and get something decent.

At $18, it seems like a really nice yo-yo. I’m no expert though, and can’t do enough tricks to fully evaluate.
