> [@yoyo\_cubicle](#): > > I went to the local Target today for the first time in about a month. They usually have at least 4 or 5 of the new Butterfly XTs for sale, sometimes quite a few more. My plan was to pick one up in a color I don’t have, but they were sold out of yoyos. I went back to the same store today and was happy to see the yoyos were restocked. I just recently traded away my Butterfly XT, but I was able to get one in the same colorway I had before. ---

Has anyone spotted any of the new Butterfly XTs at Walmart? I’ve not. Haven’t seen Pro Zs there in months either (man I love that yoyo if you can find it for $10). ---

Among non-yoyo stores, Target is the only store where I’ve seen Butterfly XTs for sale. Coincidentally, I just let go of an unopened Pro Z in the same trade I described above. ---

The last time I saw a Pro Z at my local Walmart was a little over a year ago. The hook sat empty for 3 months and the hook / spot for it was removed about 9 months ago. I’ve never seen an XT there and the Imperials and Butterflys are co-mingled on 2 hooks since they’re the same price. They had a bunch of Blazing Teens yoyos about 2 years ago in a completely separate aisle but I don’t think anyone bought them because they disappeared and were never restocked. ---

The new version of the Butterfly XT is way better than the Whip, IMO. I do like the Whip better than the old XT though. I also sent out a Whip in the very same trade I described above, lol. ---

I don’t actually know to be honest. 0a is something I’d like to get into someday but haven’t yet. Just going off of what I’ve heard from others. If I were to recommend a yo for someone starting out, I’d for sure recommend a whip over an XT though (personally). ---

Feeling better about my situation today. Had a few good chats with yo-yo friends and a sponsored player who really helped me navigate the problem and come up with a plan to approach it. Still upset about the issue that exists within yoyoing as a whole, but maybe if I put enough work in I can serve as a resource for people dealing with a similar situation in the future. If you’re super curious what that issue is feel free to dm me, but I don’t feel like rehashing it here where a convo can get derailed pretty easily. Still going to go hard on 5a for a bit but now that I have a clear understanding of how to progress in a meaningful way in 1A I’m going to give that a shot and see where it goes. ---

Youtube video playback speed controls are my friend, so why do I always forget that and allow tricks to mystify me? Seriously, it’s so easy to focus on that one problematic part of a trick, slow it down in youtube, analyze it, and then go back, change up the technique, try again, and hit it. ---
