The XT is most definitely a very capable yoyo.
It’s responsive, but not snaggy, and it handles simple string tricks well, as well as old school responsive tricks.
I kind of like the feel of the starbursts, I prefer silicone, of course. but it’s fine.
but the sound, I cannot stand the sound of string grinding on the starbursts… just cut my ears off, man.
I’ll have to try out some shims.
Agreed, they do scream a bit lol
The Kasm has gotten great reviews and the price is not too crazy.
My niece and nephew subtracted 2 yo-yos from my collection on new years.
Me what? I know nothing! Thank you rob
I’ll consider it; I’m thinking of picking up some washers at the hardware store and sticking 'em in my Butterfly XT, we’ll see what I think of that.
The Kasm should also come with “bearing locks” essentially making it great for fixie play. It’s really pretty amazing for the price.
I can afford washers for a Butterfly XT–I can’t afford another yo-yo. lol
Someone has a Kasm for sell for 20
Where would one find shims for the XT?
Small bearing shields work good
Ooo that’s a brilliant idea
I wonder if I could modify a Wing Force to be… decent?
I could probably Beefcake it at least, what do y’all think?
I’m unfamiliar, what is Beefcaking?
Beefcaking in a YoYo is having 2 bearings side by side the TFL and XXXXL by Werrd came stock with a beefcake setup
I don’t think I’ve ever beefcaked a setup to where it didn’t play pretty wonky, haha.
To be fair, my experience with this was mostly with G-Bearings and very slimlines, which is already pretty unique, lol.
It’s an old mod that @DocPop invented.
It’s just putting 2 bearings in a yoyo, one on top of the other. It’s a neat trick for old yoyos with teeny tiny bearings.
G-Bearing are the ones that Custom uses, right?
somewhat unrelated, but have you ever used a Custom Reactor? I’m thinking about picking one up. of course, I don’t expect it to be a well performing, trick to trick to trick kind of yoyo, but is it fun?
Yeppers
And not the Reactor specifically, but I played around with the MAG series for a while.
I will admit, they are aesthetically pleasing. 
Where would I source another Size E bearing?
