Arlequin diabolo by Play
Item sold individually, without the handsticks nor a string. Be sure to order them separately! NetJuggler recommends aluminum handsticks that you can choose from the options on this page.
Play Juggling medium Arlequin diabolo:
This model has a mass of 260g, which gives it good inertia for its size. It will therefore keep its rotation longer once launched.
It is ideal for performing tricks.
Today there are diabolos which have a rotation time up to 20x longer than this diabolo. These are the diabolos equipped with ball bearings which are today the most used in children and which have become in very little time their favorites. This arlequin diabolo is not equipped with bearings but with a fixed axis.
NetJuggler's opinion:
NetJuggler recommends this model for children from 6/7 years old. They love the colours, and if you really want to make them happy, combine your purchase with a pair of aluminum handsticks. The slides / grinds that beginners do a lot will be made easier with the use of these handsticks.
This diabolo is ideal for a beginner but has some limitations for someone who really wants to evolve and do more advanced tricks. If you are buying for a child wanting to have a scalable diabolo, opt for a large diabolo and choose the lightest model possible in order to not have a diabolo which could be too heavy for a child. The Vision diabolo is an excellent diabolo much more scalable than the Arlequin diabolo.

What kind of use?
Versatile diabolo, ideal for tricks due to its weight. Suitable for everyone.
NetJuggler tips:
If you are a beginner, NetJuggler advises you to take a reel of string with your order. Indeed, beginners with dry and jerky movements can wear out the strings very quickly, in a few hours, where the same string can last a few weeks for an experienced diabolist. This may save you from having to pay shipping fees again when your string is worn out.
