Yo-Yo History

 Who,when,where they won this yoyo with

Hank Freeman: nats 2011  
Kohta Watanabe: European yo-yo champ

Pros

1. Weighs good for 5a,1a,and 3a.
2. Has great grooves for grinds.
3. Looks great escpically the side caps that magnify the echo aqnd duncan logo.
4. The package looks amazing
5. High speed ball bearing for long spin times

Cons

1. Oversized
2. Bearing remover needed
3. Short axel

Comparisons/Conclution  
I compare this to the Raptor the spin time is about the same. The colors the Echo dosen’t have as much varity as the Raptor does. The shape is a little different the Raptor is smooth. The Echo has 2 humps and little riges after the humps( mostly for the grinds). And if you take out the sidecaps they both can thumb grind desently. I reccomand this yo-yo to advanced players i thank Turtleyo for giving me this yoyo! remember critisize

The Echo isn’t over sized it is full sized. Over sized would be something like the Crucial Jirorian. Then I would put Full Sized as both a pro and a con because some people like it and some people don’t.

While the Echo isn’t oversized, it feels like it’s a lot wider than it really is. I think this has to do with the catch zone and how it has a wider mouth. The Echo’s on the list of favorites in my collection. I have the Triple Crown edition Duncan sent me when my TC Raptor stripped out on me on my request, to just swap it with the Echo as I really wanted one (Little did I know, they also sent me a replacement Raptor).

Having a short axle should be a pro in my opinion. It gets rid of more centered weight.
