Picture this, It was the late 1900’s. I won a cheap yo-yo at Kennywood amusement park in Pittsburgh Pa. Yes, cheap but I got pretty decent with it before we left the park. On the way home my dad bought me a Duncan Imperial at place called K-Mart. He said this one will “sleep” not like that tied axle piece of ####. After I learned to make it sleep, he taught me how to Rock the Baby The rest is history. ---

As a kid (4th - 5th grade) every boy had an Imperial. I had a Butterfly then too. String broke or got too knotted so I tied rubber bands together to make a new string. Didn’t work well! In 2015 I tried an Imperial. Within a month I had 15 or so yoyos. I still can’t do much more than gravity pull with an Imperial! One day as I hover my hospital bed I will hear a doctor say “he’s STILL unresponsive.” ---

Super-cheap Imperial knock-off from Woolworths when I was a kid in the 1970s – it wouldn’t sleep. ProYo when my kids got into throwing in the 90s during the YoHans-led craze. Duncan Butterfly when I got back into it 18 months ago. I hear you @ChrisFrancz, my all-time favourite throw is the good ol’ Duncan Butterfly but I like to switch to an Imperial every so often to really sharpen my reflexes – catching it on the string is not easy!
