Duncan Toys Butterfly XT Ball-Bearing Trick Yo-Yo, Red with Orange Cap

Excellent yoyo! I used a Duncan Butterfly when I was a kid! Great action!

Cute and good price. Great for kids

Great yo-yo, responsive, and good sleep time. Only issue I had was it’s definitely NOT purple

I'm really impressed with this item! From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell it was well-made and designed with the user in mind. Setup was straightforward and quick, which is always a huge plus. In terms of performance, it has consistently exceeded my expectations. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, and it does it reliably and efficiently. I've been using it regularly for a while now, and it still feels as good as new. What I particularly appreciate is its ease of use. The features are intuitive, and I didn't need to consult a manual to figure things out. It truly makes my life easier. Overall, this has been an excellent purchase, and I genuinely feel it offers great value for the price. If you're looking for a dependable and high-quality item that delivers on its promises, you won't be disappointed with this one.

My son is 14, he loves to yoyo now. He learned easily with this simple yoyo, now he has moved to a fancier heavier one, but still likes to yoyo with this one. Very good starter yoyo.

These are good smooth yo-yos. If you know how to do tricks these work good for that

Although this yoyo feels good in my hand, it seems light to me. It is a bearing yoyo without break pads. It uses what they call the 'Starburst Response System'. Which is similar to what the old Duncan Imperials and Butterflies used to use. It is a bunch of ridges on the string facing surfaces of the two yoyo halves that radiate out from the axle toward the outer rim. On the older Imperial and Butterfly these ridges were slight and almost unnoticable. On this yoyo they are VERY pronounced! They work great! ...and thats the problem. These ridges make the yoyo highly responsive. I can't get good sleep times with it. One of the reasons to get a Butterfly design yoyo is that distributed weight helps for longer sleep times, and the wide string gap allows for easier string catches to do advanced string tricks. It even says that on the package! What we have here is a butterfly looper. As a looper goes, the Proyo, Bumblebee, Profly, Dragonfly, Iomega Fireball, and Iomega Raider are better. The card that this yoyo came on shows add on parts "Duncan MOD Spacers" to change the string gap. I ordered some just to play with. I will post if I get good results, but my advice right now is to skip this yoyo. I get better performance from a straight up old school Butterfly. If you want a butterfly style bearing yoyo spend a few dollars more and get the Duncan Dragonfly! It's a little more advanced, but lightyears ahead of this yoyo. I got the proper MOD kit for this yoyo, and with the MOD kit 5158PK this is a much better yoyo. But DON'T add the concave bearing! This yoyo with the MOD and concave bearing basically becomes completely unresponsive! As in, you need to know how to bind to get it to return unresponsive! I still don't like this yoyo. Dissapointed.

Purchased for my grandson who is 7. He enjoys working on his yo yo skills. The size is manageable, highly durable and seems responsive, even though he is clearly a beginner. Good value, hours of entertainment.

Good

i dont know why there are bearings installed inside but this yo yo design definitely does not work

I bought this for my 9yo who is into yoyos. Its great and has enabled him to take his tricks to the next level. Being able to open the yoyo means an end to dealing with knots. The plastic is more robust than the basic Butterflies and does not chip/crack when impacting the pavement as readily.

Bought this for my son, who, after watching a few YouTube videos, decided he wanted to be a world Yo-Yo champion... We've had the cheaper ones that you get in party bags ect, this is a whole new level compared to those, you can easily do all the tricks that you want to learn and the Yo-Yo will perform exactly as you want it to. For the money, its perfect. the quality is good, it looks good, and it comes with spare strings so these can be easily if needed. All in all, its a good bit of kit and wont break the bank yet give you a quality, and original Yo-Yo.

Kids love it. Great quality overall.
