Duncan Toys Butterfly Yo-Yo, Beginner Yo-Yo with String, Steel Axle and Plastic Body, Purple (3124BU-ECHAP)

Good quality Yoyo for beginners or anyone in general.

Kids loved getting these in their stockings. They have been playing with them since Christmas. Very good quality works very well.

I happened to dig out my 60 year old Duncan (wooden) Yo-Yos when my 10 year old granddaughter was here for a visit. She did very well with only minimal instruction. So I got her this one for her own, and some official replacement strings for mine. Looking forward to instructing and practicing together. Purple is her favorite color too!I only wish the still made the old Saturn style.

This yo-yo lasted less than a month. And okay, it can still be used if we want to. How was I to know my son would catch on so quick that he’d need more space. The yo-yo now has a good chunk taken out of the side (acquired earlier this week), and I don’t want to look at my ceiling. Nor do I want to know which counter he hit. But he’s getting really good, so we’ve had to upgrade already. 😁For the cost, a month’s time is an okay value.

It is a classic yoyo. It is a little light wight. That makes it harder for younger kids that are just starting out.

My 8 year old wanted a yo-yo. She picked this one because of it being purple. She is a beginner, this is honestly a good yo-yo for a beginner, good quality for being a cheaper one too. I tried to find one in store and couldn’t, Amazon came in clutch.

My young grandson has been trying to learn how to yo-yo, and I haven’t done it in over 50 years! But I used to prefer this style of yo-yo, so I had to get this!After just a few minutes of reminding myself how to properly wind the string, how to yo-yo, etc., I was able to do release and catch it several times in a row. (That was exciting to me!)This yo-yo is very good for beginners or intermediate players, and it works great!I truthfully expected the quality to have suffered over the years (like most everything else), but it’s just as I remember! Great purchase!

The yo-yo works OK, but it is not the most smooth yo-yo and when it is down, it wants to keep spinning on its own. I think this might be intentional, but it’s just something to note. It’s OK for the price, but I would pay a few more dollars for one that rolls more smoothly.
