Those look sweet. Way back in this thread was an image of a bomb that just said Yoyo Club, in the style of Spy Vs Spy I think. I really like the idea of shirts that just say Yoyo Club, seems like you could target a much bigger cross section of yoyoers. Almost all the artwork is something I’d wear, and if there’d been a lack of sponsors for FAF I would still be in it for a tshirt or hat as a prize ---

There is a folder on the club drive with all the previous logo ideas including the bombs.

Cheers for that. I’m not so fussed about the bomb art, and if people have legit complaints then that’s fine. I grew up next to a haematite mine and to me explosives are for turning mountains into ore. I like the station wagon art most anyway. Yoyo Club just has a nice ring to it, the 3 note jingle thing. And if every club has a different name I thought this might help boost merch sales without increasing the variety your shop is producing. Not trying to change the name of the Boomers club or anything. Also, in Australia boomer is slang for a kangaroo as well as the whole baby boomer thing ---

As a none member but a lurker and maybe one day member, the bomb ones I thought looked best. The higby style has never been my fav, but cool that he did that. Also makes me think of all the book stuff when I see his art and not sure if that’s good. ---

I see lots of folks using butterflies for the fixed axle challenge. I have this one but its a C bearing. Is it the XT in the name that signifies the difference? Are regular butterflies actually fixed axle, or do most of you mod them. Just asking because i would like to buy a fixed butterfly. Just dont want to end up with another bearing one Thanks ---

Yes. The XT is the bearing version. Standard Butterfly is fixed. ---

Yep Duncan has a few “butterfly” models. The cheapest butterfly is just called a Duncan butterfly. The xt is an upgraded version that uses a bearing. There are a few other versions as well (aluminum, micro, etc) but for your uses a simple Duncan butterfly is what your looking for they are usually 5 bucks at your local target or heck I’ve seen them at Cracker Barrel. Yye doesn’t sell the fixed axle version but if you want to buy online that rainforest named site has them cheap. Do note there are new and old molds the newer mold is more solid than the older but they both work fine. ![IMG_3838](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/7/3/b73d32cdc3820d95433f9f263c46d29b8de1b502.jpeg) > [@An unofficial guide to identifying the new Duncan Butterflies](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/an-unofficial-guide-to-identifying-the-new-duncan-butterflies/365957): > > Hi all, there has been excitement surrounding the new Duncan Butterflies that are made with the updated mould. I feel this excitement is warranted because the new butterflies are great. They aren’t just great for the price, they are actually really great fixed-axle yoyos. I personally was not a fan of the previous Butterfly version, but I really like this new one. These seem to have been rolling out gradually for the past little while, so you may find some in a store near you.

Wow, thanks so much for all the info. I have never ever seen any Duncans at toy stores here in Canada. I found this the other day, but it doesn’t play very well. ![1000006126](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/e/aaec8ed318c41ba4fbf4d52578765ef4a9349613.jpeg) ---
