I have had great success with tant paper, 75 mm, which comes in many 
tone-in-tone clear color packs and has a nice balance between thinness for the 
butterfly effect when you smack it into the air, and stiffness for the ball and 
for the satisfying sound when it hits the floor.

I believe “butterfly ball” or the original “butterfly bomb”, the latter my 
favorite despite some veterans’ connotations to some real bombs during the 
Second World War.

Kenneth Kawamura.

Diane is right.  Kenneth Kawamura.

It all depends on the size.  Astrobright works well.  Yami Yamauchi used to
make these all the time at events.

This one is from Canson (heavier weight):

Pretty stiff and not much airtime.

This is lightweight cardstock.  Printed paper I got years ago when all we
had was the O-List and a few websites.  Gilad Aharoni:
