I love this Butterfly XT yo-yo.

I used to throw some, around 2015, then got out of it.  

Recently, I wanted to get back into it, so I did a little research and found this yo-yo.  

It's marketed as intermediate, but it should be marketed as beginner through intermediate. 

Personally, I've been going through the yotricks first 50 tricks; it appeared to be a great holistic approach to building skills.  The Butterfly XT has been serving me well.  It really is fantastic to have a $5, buy-it-basically-anywhere yo-yo with a bearing and having it be responsive.

I recently bought (and posted here a picture of!) A Duncan Big Fun.  I wanted to grab a good unresponsive for cheap, so I'd have something for later.  I have the Butterfly XT on me basically at all times.  It is FANTASTIC.  I wish that this yo-yo was around when I was younger and getting into throwing.  It really is a fantastic yo-yo.  I know that I'll always have a responsive yo-yo in my collection going forward!

Lightweight, long-spinning, responsive, inexpensive, and available.  It's a fantastic beginner yo-yo, and I would give one to anyone interested in learning to throw.

I just wanted to sing the praises of this yo-yo.  It's such a fantastic gyroscope for the price.  I would love to know if anyone else shares some excitement for this one.  It definitely is a fantastic yo-yo for the price.
