From Duncan: The idea of transforming the Butterfly into aluminum is a pretty bold concept. The original Butterfly design is really something you don’t want to mess around with. After a lot of thought, we finally decided to design something aimed towards modern responsive yo-yoing; maintaining the feel of the original Butterfly but gearing the yo-yo towards a trickset that wasn’t invented at the time of the original Butterfly’s release. Our goal became to keep that timeless Duncan feeling, to make the yo-yo play responsively without sacrificing performance, and, of course, to keep the look of the Butterfly AL as close to that of the original Butterfly as possible.
Awesome!
@YoYoExpertGarrett can you take a shot of the pink colorway that shows closer detail of the face engraving please? I admit it looks like it may be hard to do due to the hue.

I’m super tempted to snag one, even though I’ve tried the Butterfly AL in the past and didnt click with it.
I wonder if now that I really understand responsive yoyoing will I like it more? Or will the small pads and C bearing still feel off. Its a little heavy, but I really love my Gamer Light. So undeceive.

You could put a slim bearing in instead of the stock, makes a world of difference in play.

You keep throwing up temptation (sounds like a good name for a yoyo.)
I have several older Butterflies but they are all plastic.
Looking good!
