A duncan butterfly
Once can purchase a classic Duncan Butterfly yo yo from a number of different places. These include a large toy store such as Toys 'R' Us or online retailers such as Amazon.
The Duncan Butterfly is valuable both in price and in performance. It has a butterfly shape for forgiving yoyo play, and it also has a long spin time for string tricks. It is an ideal skill toy for the intermediate player.
To loosen the knot on a Duncan Butterfly yo-yo, first remove the string from the yo-yo. Then unravel the knot by gently pulling it apart until it comes loose. Be careful not to pull too hard to avoid damaging the string or the yo-yo.
A good gift for a boy around the ages of 8 - 14 is a yo yo we love them. I recommend the duncan butterfly.

In 1946, the Duncan Toys Company opened a Yo-yo factory.
Yoyos are classified by shape and the 3 are: 1) "Classic", also known as "Imperial" - These have been around the longest and include the Duncan 'Imperial', Duncan 'Speed Beetle', and the Team Losi 'Da Bomb'. They are best for looping tricks. 2) "Butterfly" - These are probably the most popular today and include the Duncan 'Butterfly', Henry's 'Viper', and Yoyojam 'Spinmaster'. They are best for string tricks and long spin or "sleep" times. Really complicated string tricks are almost always performed using a butterfly shaped yoyo. Butterflies are not considered to be the best starter yoyos. 3) "Modified" - These have rounded edges and are a good compromise between imperial and butterfly shapes. Good examples are the Duncan 'ProYo', Yomega 'Fireball', and the Spintastics 'Technic'. They loop well and are better than the imperial for string tricks. The modified shape is also considered to be a great beginners yoyo. Many other factors come into play such as materials, axel construction, weight, size, etc, but these are the 3 shapes, or "types" of almost all serious yoyos.
