I like the idea of them having a ‘premium’ butterfly that’s geared more towards collectors and enthusiasts though. I don’t know why this should be aimed at beginners at all.

I don’t think people really get what I’m saying or what the Butterfly really should be.

It seems Duncan wants to expand the notion of what a Butterfly can be, rather than simply adhering to what it has always been.

I agree being an A bearing believer and fan that this should be another A bearing release. However players are going to be shredding this new AL Butterfly just because it will be fun to do so. I’m looking forward to it.

I’m pretty sure Duncan confirmed that this will be compatible with a slim bearing… if that’s the case, I hope it’s included! I would love to play this as a modern responsive.

I love it. Maybe for 100 year anniversary they can do a Duncan Wheel with an A bearing and friction stickers

Coming from someone who truly believes
Duncan = 
For every 1 thing they get right they get 5 other things wrong. @AaronW & @Glenacius_K are right, what were they going for? I’m gonna buy it in every color, but still I’m scratching my head over this confused design.

Yeah this looks weird, also I don’t like the $50 price point. I appreciate the metal remake sentiment, but I think the Tourney looked way better.

Duncan has been this way for quite a while, why they’ve been such a frustration to so many. There is so much potential, but the execution has been spotty far too often.

I dunno - looks pretty cool to me. As to the price point, I’d like to see how it plays before I made a judgement. I also don’t see why it needs to be priced and geared toward beginners. The plastic butterfly and xt still exist, right? Looks fun.

At $25-$30 I would totally be for this. $50 seems really high for what this is, especially given the low-cost Butterfly lineage.

It’s obviously difficult to really tell from a pic but this yoyo looks like it’ll play really play well with a slim bearing. If that’s the case I don’t mind the price tag.

$50 struck me as a bit high, but I think that’s only because it has the name Butterfly on it. If it was called anything else, I don’t think I would’ve given it any more thought. I assume this thing is hollow. In that case, it seems reasonably priced alongside the likes of the Sherpa. I imagine a design like this isn’t the cheapest thing to make.

For the most part, the whole responsive yo-yo with a C bearing should stop 
it doesn’t work that great. Yes there are a number of good, and even great examples, but the A bearing is king for responsive.
The cost is coming from its design, I’m sure it’s a hollow body capped yo-yo, like a Pure, Diesis and Sherpa. Those aren’t cheap.
I’ll still get one, but will wait for a used one, can’t justify $50 on something I don’t feel I’m going to love.

The box that appears to come with the one at Worlds is worth $25 to me. That said 50 wing wangs ain’t so bad considering.

All I see is more packaging that’s going into the recycling

Oh hell no. Look at the laser engraved artwork. That’s heirloom quality right there.

Eh, I’m just not a “keep all the packaging” kinda guy I guess.

If I played responsive I would be interested in this. Wouldn’t pay 50 bucks for it though.
