About a month ago I got an O.U.T. Hipster and was excited for a quality fixed axle. However I had trouble keeping the response consistent which led to me playing with it very little. I recently discovered the waterproof bandage tape at the hospital has a grippy surface like duncan friction stickers (or gaffers tape, or hockey tape.) Now I’ve been going balls to the stalls and it’s held up well so far. I will report back later to see if any negative changes occur. In the mean time; If anyone wants some tape and is willing to pay shipping let me know. I’m not above the five finger discount at work but for those more morally inclined, heres the [link.](https://athome.medline.com/en/curad-tear-to-fit-clear-plastic-tape-2inx10yd-60ct-non270202) ![IMG_7428](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/4/8/a48a46f015bbc6dd997faaeb105e0c23ff0acb6b.jpeg) ![IMG_7429](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/2/7228e532ab44dfb9943e41fc61095b9c3ae7c80b.jpeg) Edit after 4 days: the edges of the tape have started to roll up and it’s been taking a considerable toll on the string. I believe with a throw that comes apart this would be a great response solution since you’d be able to flatten it better. Using tweezers to flatten it here wasn’t very effective. ---

I don’t do any maintenance or modification to the Butterflies. Sometimes I use different types of string depending on the trick I am working on or my mood. The type of strings I play are similar in play but have minor differences. I generally prefer cotton. I like the feel and it’s the most responsive. Sometimes I play polyester either just because of the color or because it makes string tricks a little easier because it is a little slicker, less snaggy, and less responsive. Sometimes I play cotton/polyester blend. It plays somewhere between the two. ---

I think :100: Cotton and Butterfly play is underrated, was the original combo back in the day, nothing like the grip of cotton and Starburst ---

Do butterflies come with cotton on them by default? Also they’re selling them at my local target in the little dollar store type area for 3$. I copped one just bc I was stoked to see them there lol. Idk if that’s a good deal or not but It’s super cool to see them and shoutout to Duncan for getting yo-yos into peoples hands. ![IMG_6564](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/3/ac3b7f4f0c3785ef17682c3364dafe999ab01e5f.jpeg) ---

The older ones do, the newer ones have a thicker poly, which actually last a while, the string change was a 2022 update from my observations. $3 is a good value 👌 [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/the-0a-thread-fixed-axle-modern-responsive/304228.md?page=89) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/the-0a-thread-fixed-axle-modern-responsive/304228.md?page=91)
