We were lucky enough to be able to get a handful of the Dream Yo Man yoyos.
The Man yoyo was designed by Macau player Kuto Ng, tested by Steven Vong, and manufactured by the Dream Yo Company. It was tested by various Chinese, Hong Kong and Macau yo yo players. This feedback was used to fine tune the yoyo. In the beginning, Man was exclusively used by "Team Yoman" (China Macau Yo-Yo General Association). To provide a better option for yoyo players, the Man is now available in the open market in a limited quantity. We hope Man will bring you unprecedented control and enjoyment!

Small but mighty.
I'm relatively new to yoyo'ing after returning to it from a long hiatus. I'm gradually building up a small collection and this in currently on of my favourites. It's quite a small yoyo compared to some of the others I have, but it's got some heft to it. It's not that it's heavy, but it's got a solid feel on the string and plenty of power for its size, returning to the hand with a good amount of force. It seems to be pretty stable when throwing it around and it certainly moves fast too. Build wise, the finish is very good quality and pretty flawless. My only issue is that the bearing seats are just a little small. We're talking microns, but it means that the bearing isn't a tighter push fit and comes off easily instead. Not a major issue, but I've found I've got to throw it pretty spot on to avoid introducing vibe (not that it affects play). It's certainly a good yoyo to help improve with.

Dream yo indeed
I really like this yoyo. It feels quite small in the hand but is very well weighted and balanced. It's very good at fast moving tricks but looks really smooth when you slow things down. I love the black finish which grinds perfectly and the fact that there is no logo, or indeed any writing at all, so it looks like a serious piece of 'juggling' equipment rather than a child's toy! I've changed one thing. Most of my other yoyos have concave bearings so I'm used to that. This had a flat one which worked perfectly well, but I've swapped for a V shape which I also highly recommend (avaliable here) Very pleased with this purchase.
