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.

I grew up with yoyos and hadn’t picked one up in about a decade, but with twin eight-year-old boys now, I figured it was time to get back into it. For the price, this Duncan Butterfly XT is hands down one of the best yoyos out there. Duncan is always reliable, and the Butterfly is a classic. The ball bearings are great—it spins forever! My kids love it too, even though they’re just starting out. If you’re looking for a solid yoyo that won’t break the bank, this is a fantastic choice.

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.

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.

Wanna go back in time by 50 years? This is a fun, cheap toy for old or young. Kids have their faces stuck in a screen all day long.. this I would think is a great alternative.

This thing is amazing. They took the classic butterfly design and gave it an interchangeable barring. What is there not to like about that.What I don't understand and most likely ever will. Is WHY THE COLORS ARE SO AWFUL?!?! I don't get this, what was wrong with the translucent colors of the original model? These things would have been completely epic if they would have just kept the color line up the same as the original and just gave it an updated logo.At any rate if you can get past the unpleasant visuals it's a must buy.

Gave these out as holiday gifts, they were a huge hit!Good starter yoyo, we were having a blast doing even more advanced work with this well balanced yoyo.
