Review on πŸ¦‹ Duncan Toys Butterfly Yo Yo Green: Master the Art of Yo Yo with Style and Precision by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fun return but not a very long throw

It's just a responsive plastic yo-yo, but even then it doesn't spin for very long. The star-forming reaction is likely to blame. Starburst is the etched plastic inside the yo-yo that creates enough friction to make the yo-yo spring back. On the plus side it's maintenance free, but on the other hand it shortens spin times and isn't really good for recoil. A responsive plastic yo-yo such as the Magic YoYo D2 (a third) costs about the same and is much better. However, if you're serious about the hobby, a metal yo-yo can cost as little as $10. Inexpensive Magic yo-yos with fairly basic form factors include the N11, N12 and the cheapest sub-$10 models (sometimes), and the T5 Overlord, and all three are really good. If you're worried about knocking your yo-yo recipient's teeth out, this will work. It's a good early learning yo-yo, but nothing more.

Pros
