> [@anon5341354](#): > > plays mediochre. That may just be because of the player. Butterflys have so many variables and idiosyncrasies between each model that it requires the player to adapt and is kind of an equalizer. It requires so much more out of the player to push it. But once a player is able to push it, there is such a great sense of progression. If you can shred on a Butterfly you can shred on anything, the next level up would be an Imperial. Ive been trying to wrap my head around some of these @drewtetz Butterfly whip concepts from nine years ago.

I like the Butterfly for sure, but there are much better fixed axles out there. The beauty is in the performace for price. ---

The wooden butterflies look great, especially the sparkly painted ones. I’ love one of those one day. ---

Yes, it’s great how readily available they are. If you forget your yoyo, you can even quickly pick one up while out shopping for really cheap. ---

I meant no offense. I suppose what I meant to say was “I enjoy playing the Butterfly. It’s quite fun.” ---

@anon5341354 @Shwa do you know the best way to play with the butterfly ?? I have one but it’s plays a bit poorly when it comes to responsiveness. Is there any tips and recommendations that I should try ?? ---

Its all about string choice. Thicker Cotton strings get the best response. Slim poly strings get more spin time. ---

I play mine with poly but I double loop for a very consistent response. ---

Still can’t fathom how people can do those flips and get their fingers into even one loop after a stall (let alone the several that you see the masters do). But I always love that whirring zip that wood yoyos make as they whip by your face when shooting the moon.
