Duncan Butterfly XT Yo-Yo

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.

Bought a couple of these yo-yos for our Operation Christmas child boxes. Such nice quality for a good price. I hope the kids getting one will like it! Very sturdy and durable!

Great for kids

I met a kid on the street with one of these and had some fun so I figured, at the price point, why not give it a try. The yoyo itself is nothing special. But I knew that going in. I was looking for a fun plastic, that was responsive. The narrow bearing works well for what it is (I actually wound up putting it on a offstring yoyo that had a pretty horrible bearing in it and it brought that throw back to life). The yoyo is pretty smooth on the string and for simple tricks (rolls, brain twister, picture tricks etc...) works alright. After a couple layers of string, it dies quickly or tries to bind back. It has a starburst response which is unpredictable and pretty terrible, but I knew that going in too. Overall, if you are brand new, or maybe a kid looking for a step up from a classic imperial or butterfly, it is not a bad way to go. I also have a yoyo factory whip which is maybe a little better (due to response) but also somewhat less stable. I'd definitely buy this throw for someone else who was just trying to get going. A next step from this if you want to stay plastic, or stay with Duncan, would be the flipside. That was my first step up from fixed axle and it took me a long way. It too has short comings but it has a decent response and helped me take the step from responsive to non responsive.

The Dunkin Butterfly XT is a fast and fun yoyo, good colors and tight build

I was a kid back in the 90s and had an Original Butterfly back then. I thought it was the best Yo-Yo I owned at the time. I had a lot of crappy Duncan Yo-Yos as a kid until I got the Original Butterfly. This version of the Butterfly, the Butterfly XT, is the 3rd version of the Butterfly that Duncan has made. They had a 2016 version that is similar to this new 2019 Butterfly XT. Both the 2016 and 2019 versions look similar in terms of body design, but they have different cap art. I enjoyed playing with the new 2019 Butterfly XT. It is able to do the basic tricks I was able to do as a kid, which were: 1.Sleep the Yo-Yo 2. Walk the Dog 3. Rock the Cradle 4. Around the World In terms of what YouTubers can do this Yo-Yo can also do advanced tricks. It's not a competition Yo-Yo, or a Yo-Yo to do really crazy stuff on, but it will get the job done on many tricks. From beginner tricks to advanced ones, and it only costs $5, which is insane. If you want something more advanced the Duncan Hornet is $12.99, so there are other higher-end options out there, but if you're looking for a solid cheap Yo-Yo the Butterfly XT should be able to hold you over for hours on end.

Exelente

Spins forever but will not return to the hand. This yoyo must be only intended for doing tricks and not up and down fun. The ball bearing is nice for spinning but not up and down. My old ducan yoyo had a wooden axial but that was over 65 years ago.

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.
