Once the cotton comes in I’ll try spun poly/cotton, 8cP, v2 wind but not as tight. ---

This is the way. You can get it to wind up all the way with enough practice on snap starts. ---

With engineers wind, I usually have to do a regen to get it to wind all the way up. It’s not impossible without the regen but much easier. ---

So it definitely looks awesome! Can be done! Hot tip though, for those who have never removed the caps on a standard Butterfly before, don’t try and jimmy them out with a thin blade like I did. They’re in there pretty good, haha. Little dinged up on one side of the glow body and cap, but still love them. Hand-twist them apart, groove plier the axle out, then punch the caps out from the inside. Much less destructive, and still didn’t need to glue the axles back in place. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/a/c2aeda5d9859f295ec60416ebc33d3ad9812ad42.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/e/8/2e80bb3772c8f15f83bdf5b4a7b45daae9527941.jpeg) ---

Saw @edhaponik snap start into a trapeze stall. That’s what I go for. With or without landing it, regen is next. ---

What string works best for a butterfly? I snapped the stock string in an hour… (By best I mean… not going to snap in an hour. Lol) ---

Oh no. I might’ve sent you a string cutter. Every once in awhile a butterfly will do that. Try one of the pink strings I sent you. If it cuts that one in an hour, let me know and I’ll send a different butterfly. Sorry dude. String cutters are no fun. The stock sting is pretty weak though so hopefully the Sochi will last a little longer. Also be aware, these things aren’t for long sleeps. If you’re just seeing how long you can get it to spin, it’s going to go through strings relatively quickly. I found this out by doing around the world over and over until my yoyo went flying :joy: ---

So, the Sochi has been going for about an hour and 45 minutes. It hasn’t snapped off yet, but it’s getting pretty frayed. I’ll try to get some pics when the sun comes up.
