Duncan Toys Butterfly XT, Ball-Bearing Trick Yo-Yo, Blue with Green Cap

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-Yo2. Walk the Dog3. Rock the Cradle4. Around the WorldIn 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.

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

My 7 yr old kiddo came to me asking for some "Master Pack" of yoyos he saw being hawked by some youtuber with a cut of the profits - $40 for 3 yoyos seemed like a big up front investment for what would probably become paperweights in short order, so I did some digging. The 'main' yoyo in the Master Pack was essentially a Duncan clone with a bearing added to the center spindle, so I searched "yoyo with bearing" and found this one for less than 5 bucks. He loves it! Super easy to sleep, and spins for a LONG time, so it's much more forgiving for learning tricks. He's having fun and working his way up to being able to do the tricks he would need a specialty yoyo for (DNA is the one he keeps talking about). Might get one for myself now since I have to cut a foot off the string for him and I learned my lesson after bashing my shin so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

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

It lasted 1 day and stopped spinning . Cheaply made . Had to take apart and fix

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.

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.
