Fear not guys. If the financial strain of FAF and MRM leave you in the poor house, as Head Cheerleader…I will put on a Pep Rally to collect donations. I will perform my most complicated routines in order to dazzle potential contributors for minutes!! I feel certain you’ll have nothing to worry about. 😘 ---

Well, I think I’m gonna go with the Butterfly XT for March. Nice and cheap. I’ve seen people mod them for silicon. Is it hard? ---

I don’t think it should be needed. The starburst works plenty fine, and if you want more response it’s easier to grease the bearing. I think if you want silicone you’d have to remove the starburst and cut a channel for it. ---

The XT’s play great as they are out of the package, haven’t felt the need to mod mine, most I’ve done was cap/half swap and put some silicone grease in the bearing to give it a little more snap. It easily passes the “shoot the moon” test. ---

I…being me…modded mine with a narrow C bearing and shims. Now I know this is hard to believe, but it’s true. Even more difficult to believe is that I run that bearing dry…🤣 It’s true though. Even this way…I am astounded at how capable the XT is. Perhaps you will soon see. :thinking: ---

So my Butterfly XT came in, and so far it plays nicely, but it feels like it’s missing…something. I don’t know if it needs more weight or feels cheap. It’s just…off. It’s satisfying to throw like a regular Butterfly. At least now I can compete next month 🙂 ---
