Anyone know the name of this toy??

This is one of the "hot" toys at my sons school :

There is a ball attached to a string. The string/ball is attached to a wooden thing. The object of the toy is to get the ball to balance on the wooden thing. I believe one side has a little dip in it, and the other side has a cup for the ball. You get your choice of using the cup (beginner) or the dip (advanced) to catch the ball.

I would love to get one for my son, but have no idea what to even look for when it comes to the name of this creation!

Thanks, in advance!

We used to call those "Chinese Yo-Yos"

I saw those at toyrus dollar area yesterday. My kids had a great time playing with the cup and ball--it takes a while to accomplish the goal.
