I had the Fast 201 about two years ago as my first yoyo. It was great, but with a multitude of downsides.

Good things-  
 1)Great feel, perfect weight, just feels nice in the hands.  
2)Doesn’t need to be broken in.  
3)Is relatively adjustable for unresponsive play  
Neutral things-  
 1) Color/design isn’t great, kinda bland  
2) Great mutual price for 10-14 dollars  
Bad things-  
 1) It is the loudest yoyo I have ever thrown  
2)The starburst response will destroy your strings, I have had this yoyo come off the string more than any other I have played with  
3)The adjustability isn’t as fluid and functioning as I would have like to have seen.

In the end, this is the absolute perfect yoyo for beginners. It works with you, and is great for responsive - semi-responsive play. The kid I gave my gray 201 to learned how to throw a yoyo, do basic string tricks and had fun doing it within a week.

Rating- 7/10

I do like the weight and shape of this yoyo but yes, the starburst response is terrible! If you want to turn it into a decent throw that you don’t have to worry about banging up, take the little star bursts out with a plier to get unresponsive play.
