Was wondering if there would be a Butterfly update this year. not sure why they’d put a C bearing in this 😞 An A bearing would’ve been great. ---

What is going on here? This yoyo looks really wrong. Is that a slimline, wide gap unresponsive yoyo? What is this meant to be used for? Is the bearing meant to be heavily lubed so it is responsive (for which the gap is too wide for 0A) or is it meant for unresponsive (for which the yoyo is too narrow). Is this meant for beginners? At $50, not likely. Part of what makes the Butterfly what it is, is because it it widely available for very cheap. This is nowhere near cheap enough and I can’t see it sold widely. ---

They said in a comment that it accepts both c and slim. But most people are probably gonna modern responsive / fixed axle with it ---

Is there a way to turn a non-fixie into a fixie? Like, maybe a short axle that has some threads on both ends but is smooth in the middle? ---

Folks have made solid pieces in the shape of a bearing that will turn a yo-yo into a fixed axle. I’ve never personally used one though so I can’t speak to playability. ---

> [@Imdavid122](#): > > They said in a comment that it accepts both c and slim. But most people are probably gonna modern responsive / fixed axle with it Better, but still not right. This is what they should have done: They should have made it a heavily lubed sealed A bearing yoyo, so that the bearing stays responsive without the need for any maintenance. This would have helped beginners, but allowed more advanced users to swap the bearing if they want. The pads should be the standard A bearing sized pads to match. This setup is fine, forget about making it possible for unresponsive play. There are other cheap yoyos that can be purchased later that would do a much better job. The price should have been an absolute maximum of $20. Really, around the $12-$15 mark. Butterfly yoyos should be very inexpensive and widely available. ---

Why does it have to be a beginner’s yoyo? They have the regular Butterfly and XT for that department. For me it seems like a good idea to market to long time throwers for nostalgic purposes. ---
