Hello everybody! I’m back with another review of another Magic YOYO. This time with the N11, I bought this to expand my collection of MYY yoyo’s, the N11 just looked like a nice place to start. The brother to the N12 Shark which I have [already reviewed](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php?topic=54209.0). Not much else really to explain about why I bought it so let’s get on with the review! [As with my last review, Here’s another album of pictures](http://imgur.com/a/mI4Nb) Specs Material: 6061 aluminium Weight: 64.7g Diameter: 54mm Width: 42mm Gap width: 4.62mm (approx) Response: MYY Silicone Pads. Bearing: Size C stainless steel 10-ball concave bearing. Finish: Colour anodised and laser engraved The First Throw Felt a bit alien, to be honest, I’m used to throwing fairly wide V and H shaped yoyos, the N11 is a butterfly shape with an undercut in the body of the yoyo leading into the catch zone (I think that’s how to describe it). Once I got used to the feel however, the yoyo was very impressive, silent as a mouse as I would expect with the 10ball bearing, long sleep times and a very nice look whilst the yoyo is in motion. The finish is nice and smooth, mine came with scratches on the chrome parts of the finish but I have put that down to manufacturing and the ‘lackluster’ handling of aluminium whilst in the warehouse. So, What’s it feel like? It feels great, as I said above, I didn’t like it too much at first but once you get used to how it feels coming back to your hand, it’s a great player. It has a pretty good IRG area, on which I actually learned how to do horizontal finger grinds (Hooray!), I found it easiest on the N11 out of my other throws because of the big cup area leading into a ‘nipple’ in the middle of the cup. It doesn’t grind too well because of the metallic finish but it does grind a small amount on skin. How’s it play then? It plays really well, I wouldn’t say I would choose one over my N12 Shark (keeping it in MYY examples) but I would recommend it to someone who wants these kind of specs. The catch zone isn’t very forgiving since it’s a butterfly shape, a pretty bad hit and the yoyo tilts a lot. It’s really nice for horizontal the weight distribution lends itself to it, and as said above the IRG is nice for thumb and finger grinds. I did find it to be really good for 5A, more so over 1A, It’s probably just my CW but I found the weights matched up really nicely and that I’ve been able to pull off some more tricks than I could while using my CODE 2 as a 5A yoyo. So, what’s the verdict? I’d give it a 9/10, it hits all the right notes for me, apart from being a shape that will still take some getting used to I really enjoy playing with it. I’ve made it my go to 5A throw right now and will probably buy another one and give 3A a try with it, the weight just seems right for it. At a price around the same as the N12 Shark, I would have to recommend that over the N11 but if you’re looking for a good 5A throw (I prefer it to the Shark for 5A) certainly give this yoyo a go. Closing Notes Thank you for reading this review, Hope you have found it informative, as always give me feedback and expect to see more reviews from me here! I will probably review a couple more MYY for the people who want to know about them. ---

A two things: 1. Great review man! 2. A hundred replies here we come! 3. Are magic yoyos still considered bootleg? ---

We might be able to keep different throws in different reviews if people make more of them. And no, I wouldn’t call magicyoyo bootleg anymore, it may be just my personal opinion but most of their newer yoyos are original designs (at least I can’t find any others that look exactly like these yoyos).
