About Aoda Yo-yos
Note these are budget yo-yos and there may be very minor imperfections in the finish that will not affect play.
Aoda Yo-Yos are not suitable for children under the age of 12 years.

Notice to Customers in the USA:
Dif-e-yo have a Patent on the Concave bearing shape in the USA. Because of this, I cannot supply any Concave bearings that are not made by Dif-e-yo to customers in the USA. Customers in the USA may buy these yo-yo's, but the convave style bearing will be swapped for a correctly sized Vivace Stainless Steel Flat Bearing.

If you want a concave bearing, the best alternative would be a Dif-e-yo KK bearing of the correct size. The Dif-e-yo bearing is a superior quality bearing.

AODA Bearing Sizes
For the Flying Shuttle, Flying Master, PXY, Royal Star and Sunshine, the bearing size is 5x11x5, the same size as a HSPIN Bearing.

The Aoda Free King, Speed Wind, Rainbow and Dancing Pearl have a size C (Dif-e-yo sized) bearing.

Recommended Alternative Bearings
Flying Shuttle, Flying Master, PXY, Royal Star and Sunshine - use a Dif-e-yo hspin sized KK bearing (on sale here)

Aoda Free King, Rainbow and Dancing Pearl can be fitted with a size C (Dif-e-yo sized) bearing (on sale here).

About the response
The Aoda pads are easily removed and the recess is deep enough to be siliconed.

About Aoda hubstacks
Aoda hubstacks can be removed using pliers. The stock hubstack bearings are not very good quality and performance of the hubs does not compare with those of brands such as YoyoFactory. To improve the performance of the hub stacks, we recommend that you upgrade the Aoda hub bearings by replacing them with a pair of Vivace Stainless Steel Size A Bearings.

Other: supplied with a cloth drawstring yo-yo bag, 1 yoyo string and 2 spare silicone o rings (pads). Note the o rings (pads) are not sticky and are push-fit. This yo-yo could be siliconed (you could use flowable silicone).

Note: these are unresponsive and will require 'binding' skills to play. Not for beginners!

Notes by Pete: I have been asked what my personal thoughts are on the two new models from Aoda: the Dancing Pearl and the Free King. As the seller I must be very careful not to give a biased review, and I prefer customers to form their own opinions. Nevertheless, here are my first impressions of the Dancing Pearl and the Free King. I think these new Aoda yo-yos are very good and that other yo-yo manufacturers should take note. They are just such good value for money and play very well. The finish on these new Aoda models seems better - more consistent. Don't expect the perfection of top end yo-yos, but it is getting close. They both throw well, are nicely balanced without any bad vibe or wobble (though I have not thrown every single one!) and I believe they compare well to many more expensive yo-yos. I think Aoda Yo-yos are coming of age and are becoming more innovative. The non-sticky pads work quite well and the recess could probably be siliconed, it is quite deep. Both yo-yos are a good buy. But only buy if the shape, weight and price suits you. Since these are new models, there are probably no reviews anywhere yet. If anyone purchases one, do send me your thoughts as I would love to hear your opinions on these. Thanks! Pete, proprietor, euro-yo.com.
