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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty easy and fun

I met a kid on the street with one of them and had fun so I thought given the price why don't you try it. The yo-yo itself is nothing special. But I knew what was going on. I was looking for some fun plastic that would react. The narrow bearing works well for what it is (actually I put it on a Jo-Jo progeny that had a pretty terrible bearing and it brought that litter back to life). The yo-yo lays fairly smoothly on the line and works well for simple tricks (rolls, puzzles, picture tricks, etc.). After a few layers of twine, it quickly dies off or tries to tie itself back. He has a stellar reaction that's unpredictable and pretty awful, but I knew that was what was happening. All in all, this isn't a bad option if you're a beginner or maybe a kid looking for a step up from classic imperials or butterflies. I also have a factory yoyo whip which may be a little better (because of the response) but also a little less stable. I would definitely buy this cast for someone just trying to get started. The next step after that if you want to stay plastic or stick with Duncan is the downside. This was my first step away from a rigid axis and it took me a long way. It also has flaws, but it has decent responsiveness and helped me go from being responsive to being unresponsive.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine
