Review on πŸ¦‹ Plastic Beginner Duncan Butterfly String by Greg Greiner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Inexpensive, broke in 30 minutes

Where to start.* It's impossible to unscrew one half of the yo-yo from the other to attach the rope to get caught.* That Yo-Yo is so light it doesn't "sleep" so you can do some tricks with it. * It is poorly balanced. If you throw it down there's a pretty good chance it will bounce off the center and not return to your hand. * The edges are triangular (sort of) due to the flat surface on the sides. This means it will sting a little as it returns back into your hand.* The rope is coiled, not twisted, which causes the string to coil up even more as you play with it, leading to potential knots etc . These are all observations I made during the 30 minutes I played with. After 30 minutes (not touching the ground), the outer ring on the non-logo side of the yo-yo detached from the center. This threw him off balance and made it impossible to restart the yo-yo. Absolute nonsense. Save your money if it's not for kids to play around with. Duncan became a cheap discount brand.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
