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.

Read a review of the Aoda PXY Yo-yo in the Euro-yo yo-yo forum.

Aoda Illusion Meteor Yo-Yo
This is an unresponsive all-metal budget yo-yo featuring gold coloured metal rims, hub stacks, all metal construction and a large concave bearing. You should not compare this type of budget yoyo to a more expensive premium yo-yo like the Yoyofactory 888 in terms of performance. But for the money and for someone on a budget, it is a very nice yo-yo and provides a good introduction to unresponsive all metal yo-yos.

Note from Pete, euro-yo: The hub stacks on these budget yo-yos do not play as well as those on more expensive yo-yos. However, they can be much improved by changing the supplied Size A hubstack bearings for better quality bearings such as the Vivace stainless steel flat bearings. Cleaning the hubstack bearings will also help improve performance. Due to the hub stacks and the weight rings, it is very important to ensure that this model yo-yo is set up correctly. Make sure the axle is centred for a good centre of gravity. Make sure the pads are flush.
