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. # Releasing Friday 1/28 @ 8PM EST. > **[Butterfly AL](https://yoyoexpert.com/products/butterfly-al-yoyo-by-duncan)** > > From Duncan: The idea of transforming the Butterfly into aluminum is a pretty bold concept.

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. ---
