People don’t like that one.

That’s the biggest difference as far as I can tell.

No all yoyo were highwall as far as I know. The only highwalls were 50 large bearing aqua and 20 small bearing silver. I have a silver small bearing highwall and it’s fun for me. This is according to Ben’s page on the 888.

The 888x was intentionally designed to be more stable and beginner friendly at the expense of the fun nimbleness of earlier 888s.

I didn’t think I’d ever throw a yo-yo as smooth as an OG Torrent. This yoyo is. If not for the Ti sound I wouldn’t know if it was spinning or not.

YYF and @yyfben2.deactivated nailed this one.

Got mine yesterday! Being an hour away from YYF didn’t hurt. Super smooth I love both of them. Wish I didn’t get a gold Skyline if anyone wants to trade!

TiWA was available to backers but delayed. If you backed one you’ll get it soon ish at additional shipping expense that YYF is going to take care of. TiWA should be available in very limited quantities from Gentry’s site eventually. I’d sub to his Instagram to be sure you are apprised.

Got mine today - my Skyline is black with monster engraving. I’ve seen another four backers post their mail, all with monster engraving so I’m guessing all backers got monster engraving. VERY cool as the old green monster Skyline was a yoyo I always wanted!
