Mr Babache Medium Harlekin Diabolospiel schwarz/rot/gelb

Loved this as it needs some skill and you can improve with practice. Keeps boys away from ipods etc so great in my book!!!

the spool in the middle of the diablo was sharp and cut through the string within 30 minutes of play, the seller did not answer my emails.i have had to return the toy via amazon for a refund (hopefully) and now my very dissapointed son has no diablo.would have liked an exchange but that option was never given to me.poor service

This was a present for my daughter's Christmas. All is in fine working order and the diablo has stood up well to her attempts at learning new tricks... She can do much more now than when she first got it but it takes regular 'knocks' and is still in excellent condition.

Great fun to relive my childhood and pass down the skills to my son :)

No string broke within a couple of hours if play.

Just as advertised. I'm very happy with this Diabolo.

The string broke within days of using it. Also the black handle comes off the stick.

my son adored this - officially his best (8th) birthday present - & set about mastering tricks via youtube demos.however, it quickly became apparent that this diabolo cannot get up the speeds necessary for the more impressive tricks.boring technical explanation:the Mr Babache is a fixed axle diabolo - the whole thing spins.whereas the superior types use ball-bearings, so diabolo spins but the axle doesn't (this makes basic tricks [like grinds - you'll soon know!] much easier) AND they employ a gearing system, so the diabolo rotates UP TO TWENTY TIMES FASTER/LONGER.search amazon for 'bearing diabolo' & you'll see they cost the same price. its a no-brainer, as i now know!within a week, we bought a Cyclone Quartz model - it's the same size (medium) as this Babache, same price, but infinitely superior. AND it makes a cool noise when it spins at the sorts of speed the Babache will never reach. hence why i'm writing this...
