The eight8eight is a very good yoyo. It has long sleep times, good grinds, perfect stability, and much more. ---

They’re both excellent players, it depends on your preference. If you like bigger yoyos, go for the superstar, if you like smaller, go for the 888. Like I said before they’re both outstanding players. ---

Snoopy hit it. I can’t find it but there was a post about a week ago about this. All it comes down to is what your preference is. If you like big, go with the SuperStar. Small, 888. Heavy, SuperStar. Light, 888. ---

It depends on what you are comparing, the 888 is better at hubstacked play, and smoothness. While the superstar is better at spin time and stability, it is just a matter of preferance. ---

You could go with the best of both worlds and get a DNA. ---

he’s right, if you like both, get them combined. ---

I’ve played with all three and I have to say size is not the only difference. the shape also is a big difference, the superstar has an h-shape which lets it move fast in 1a and comfortable to hold and throw with the two finger hold in 5a. The 888 has a more rounded shape. And compared to the DNA, both are both noticeably heavier ---

I like the 888 more because it has more of a rounded shape, and is small in size. ---

Preference again. What’s the shape you like? Weight? 888 Is rounded, Superstar is H-shape. ---
