K8 Leopard yo-yo
Irresponsive yo-yo, sold with a string.
K8 Leopard metallic yo-yo for 1A, 3A and 5A:
This metallic yo-yo with a feline look is designed to practice the 1A style of play (the style of play most commonly practiced by serious yo-yoists). This is a style where you practice on the string. Indeed, the very open shape of the yo-yo called "Butterfly" will facilitate the catching of the yo-yo on the string.
This yo-yo is intended for a style of play where you do tricks on the string: namely 1A, 3A and 5A. This model is recommended from 8 years old by the manufacturer. NetJuggler notes that the most appropriate age would rather be from 14 years old (except for children who are already used to handling items requiring a certain dexterity).
NetJuggler's opinion of the K8 Leopard:
The K8 has a beautiful finish, with its bursts of colour, it does not go unnoticed. Its plastic inserts make it a unique yo-yo.
Its shape is slightly inverted and rounded. Its size is normal, it is solid aluminum with pronounced "rims". An interesting feature of the K8 are its very smooth plastic inserts that sit on either side of the yo-yo to increase its surface area for tricks performed on the fingers. This increases its spinning time. If this feature is not to your liking, it can be removed.
When you have it in your hands, you will see how stable it is. With a good throw, you will have very good stability with almost no vibration.
The ball bearing has a concave shape, which improves the feeling of use of the K8 yo-yo: this will allow the yo-yo string to stay in the center of the bearing. The final effect will be to limit friction and allow you to gain both speed and stability when you practice tricks at an advanced level.

What kind of use?
This yo-yo requires knowing how to "Bind". The bind is the return mode of the yo-yo to the hand. This is a trick that must be mastered in order to be able to bring the yo-yo up in the hand. This practice is necessary for all irresponsive yo-yos.
Good morning
I would like to know how it is that his yo-yo string is worn.
Sincerely.
When to change your yo-yo string
It's a matter of feeling and experience; as soon as you feel any discomfort that might be coming from the string, it might be time to change it. If you feel more comfortable with a new one, it's because it needed to be changed.
If you have a polyester string, there is very little risk of it breaking.
