_Could have sworn there was a semi-recent thread for this, but I couldn’t find it._ Cool find out in the real world today! Didn’t have much time to look it over, but does this look like a special edition Freehand? I think it’s a fixie, but I’m not sure what that would be. (My bad for not getting a shot from the side. Was in a hurry, but I remember what it looked like, and the profile didn’t quite match any butterfly I’ve seen). ![20250215_123239](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/0/c/30c74fe01f90862f0076da943e4ffb1a38160e3a.jpeg) ![20250215_123258](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/c/1/cc12827f5689997e541fe6a53d615c2335fdb825.jpeg) ---

I found that model for an nfl team laying in a truck at work and no one knows where it came from. It looks like a butterfly xt but I was confused by the twist adjustable gap ---

didn’t see a yoyo in the wild but a guy came up to me at a gas station while pumping gas the other day. i was wearing my yoyo jacket ( covered in old contest patches) and he said “excuse me do you know John Higby?” I replied that i know of him, that he is famous in the yoyo world as a player and artist.. he told me he was an entertainment promoter, and he hired John to do a show a while back. Its funny the random people you meet out there… ---
