Is the Duncan Butterfly XT "responsive" enough to wake up without "binding?" I want to give this yoyo to a "beginner" lady friend.

I purchased these for my grandsons and honestly don't know how well they worked out for them. They are beginners too.

I can sleep some of my bearing yo-yos for over 3 minutes but the Brain has a plastic transaxle which isn't as good for sleeping. I have never timed it but I can DEFINITELY make my Brain sleep at the end of the string for 30 seconds, no problem.

This yoyo performs great. Its best for intermediate players especially after changing out the bearing to make it non responsive and binding.

I didn't realize you couldn't put more resistance on it than cycle at it's own pace. But, hey it's movement, and I know I'll be using it more than the one which requires you to cycle it. It just would have been nice to have the option, when you felt a little more energetic. Ha But I just got my machine today and I need to post a question, may not be the right place, but does anyone have one that stops moving periodically. Just wondering if this one has a short, or it just does that.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

Oh yeah. It's ready to go straight out of the box, and has only two controls -- up/down and forward/backward (oh, and turning). Adult or child, it takes a little getting used to getting it to fly evenly, but I've crashed mine 100 times without a scratch on the toy or the wall/ceiling/whatever.

Yes it is. It was my first metal yoyo and it is awesome to learn tricks on. If you put thin lube in it then you can make it unresponsive. I have a lot of better yoyos but it is a great one to learn on

You bet!! I have used my everyday and have lost count on things I have I bound. I love mine and have had no trouble with it or using it. It is easy to use and you will find yourselves using it for just about anything you can think to bind.

Who knows?I guess it's a bit like the question,"How high is up?" Seriously,it all depends on the skill of the person.I wouldn't be the least it prized if an expert could hit 15 seconds,or even more.Definately it'll sleep long enough to do string tricks,a great improvement from YoYo's of old.Let me know if you get a good answer to your question.Jerry

it does come with a warranty via amazon. I returned it to them. When I bought a yoyo from toys r us, I tried to deal directly with corporate, and they wanted me to pay the shipping to them for a $7 yoyo no thanks. I will never buy another duncan product again

Thanks for the suggestion, Starsky. :)I've actually been scouring the manuals for the various models and it seems that the lowest model that offers custom input labelling is the Pioneer VSX-1020-K. It's within budget, barely, but now I'm wondering whether the money would be better spent on some Power Block dumbbells and getting into shape.Sweet entertainment system or 6-pack and guns.. hmm..Thanks again guys, appreciate the replies.And for anyone that missed it, the lowest model offering custom labels for inputs is the Pioneer VSX-1020-K. :) Thanks for the suggestion, Starsky. :)I've actually been scouring the manuals for the various models and it seems that the lowest model that offers custom input labelling is the Pioneer VSX-1020-K.

Thanks so much for your advice, Susan!!! I had a little bit of time while my kids weren't here today to assemble Butterscotch & then she started clicking in a big way. I got online to see what I could find & read your post. Of course, then I couldn't get the neck zipper open again...it was a real comedy of errors. Finally I got the button to push down, using brute force. Then I could unzip & get to work. It's so much better now...no clicking at all. Bless You...you have saved Christmas!! Happy Holidays, Emkay

I do not think you will have any issue getting it to wake your child up. For my daughter, even the quiet setting was loud! Tip for use, Once you put it on the panties put a pull-up over the panties/underwear. The sensor is so sensitive even a little sweat will make it go off, but the pull-up will keep that from happening. This alarm worked great for my six year old daughter and my neighbor is currently having success with her five year old son.

Yep. They're a bit small and certainly take some getting used to but they're accurate and work very well once you get them setup properly within the game. I use them for roll and use the xml route to set bindings which is a bit more complex than the in-game interface but it's more fully featured. 1 to 10, I'd give them a 6 or 7. There is much much better, but not for around a hundred bucks. Saitek's pedals are good too but they don't integrate with CH software which is one huge bonus for the whole CH line of gear. Good luck and see you in the verse.

I have mine on my grady white and play it while riding and hitting wakes and waves and have never had any problems with it missing or skipping a beat. I am very pleased with mine.

This particular yoyo requires you to bind to get it to snap back. Look up yoyo binding techniques.
