instead of the normal 8 balls the 10 ball (guess it) has ten. meaning smoother quieter long lasting spins. as ive heard it is silent. ---

it is flat unlike the CT, so if your throws aren’t totally straight, CT may be better, but if your throws are straight, 10ball supposedly spins quieter and longer. ---

IMO, They play 10X better than a CT. I don’t like the CT all that much. It’s just a flashy flat bearing with some angles so the string doesn’t touch the response, which isn’t really a large factor with unsresponsive yoyos, unless the response is snaggy. Also, CT are rather loud. Get a 10 Ball, you won’t be sorry. They last long, play incredibly well, come from a great company, and are pretty silent when lubed. -Graeme
