Duncan Butterfly XT Yo-Yo

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.

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 this for my dad and he died before he could really perfect any methods. Not the yo-yo's fault, of course. The yoyo is fine.

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.

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.

Classic fun yoyo

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.

Really fun for my kid

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.
