The Turbo-Bumble Bee (TBB) was Pro-Yo's bread-and-butter yo-yo. With mismatched black and yellow halves (as well as black and yellow string), this yo-yo got its name from the noise that the bearing made after playing with the yo-yo for some time. The Bumblebee was known for being a very smooth player once the break pads were broken in, that led to gaining the nickname "Butterbee" because is was as smooth as butter.
The TBB featured a stainless steel bearing and a modified shape.
This yo-yo was the first plastic yo-yo to use Pro-Yo's patented Brake Pad Technology (BPT), a response system using cork stickers in a Starburst pattern around the bearing.
