Mosquito Yo-Yo is AWESOME! 4 Stars
September 29, 2009
Pros: Long spin time, very durable (I have smashed it against the floor, the ceiling, and the wall several times, and it came out with barely a scratch), ball-bearing, mixture of classic and wing-("flared" shape), take-apart design. Cons: Spin time will decrease as string wears down, possible to lose parts of ball-bearing when you take apart the yo-yo, and when the friction stickers wear down, the Mosquito will be hard to bring back to your hand. Overall, an AWESOME yo-yo. I had a great experience with mine.

too light by G. Gracik 3 Stars

I bought this yo yo at walmart . Although it has silicone friction stickers that last much longer you would be better off buying the avenger from the duncan website yo-yo.com The avenger has much more weight which results in better spin time. As for string tricks. Forget it . The mosquito is much to light. And fragile . The avenger i have had for 2 months and it works great with spin times up to 30 seconds and returning to my hand.

Yo, this is the one! by D. Lopata (Santa Monica, CA USA) 5 Stars

I just got back into throwing a yo yo for my niece and nephews. My imperial broke so quickly that I had to run and get another to keep the kids happy. So I spent a little more and got the mosquito. This thing is great. It makes me glad I started again. I great way to get back into it all. Thanks Duncan!

Duncan Mosquito 3 Stars

When I oredered this yo-yo, i expected it to be very good. Although I was still pleased with my purchase, I was disapointed with this yo-yo's sleep time. At best I can only get 10 seconds, usually only 8. This makes it hard to do the simplest of string tricks, like "rock the baby", let alone more challenging ones, like "atom bomb". Still, it is a good yo-yo. I love its smooth though sharp resonse. I suggest this yo-yo, but if you want long sleep times, try the Fast 201. However, the fast is a bad yo-yo for a begginer, because its high response will destroy your potential of tricks on lower response yo-yos, but the Mosquito is a perfect yo-yo for someone just starting out that doesn't need excellent perforamance.
