Whelp, Xmas was hard on the wallet this year, so, even though I really want a new Skyline, I’m waiting until things recover a bit. But, I want to play with hubstacks. So a short google search later, I put makeshift hubstacks on a YYF One. Given that I had a bunch of old '90s A bearing throws around, I had the parts. I didn’t have any real stacks around, so I cut some stiff sections of pen grips and used those. It’s ugly, vibey, sleep time is abysmal, but HUBSTACKS! ![DSC05730](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/8/9/c8906934e07fef0b077db8188f8eed0789b8117a.jpeg) ---

Trust me hubstacks get old quick. ---

Yeah, I can already feel my excitement fading. On the plus side, it cost me nothing but time and spare parts, so I got that going for me. ---

I was actually considering buying a Grind Machine and cannibalizing it for the necessary parts, which I still may do. > **[YoYoFactory](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yoyofactory?_pos=1&_sid=ab341302e&_ss=r&variant=18870368196)** > > YoYoFactory was born in 2004 with a focus on functional technology to improve the playing experience.

I’m probably not going to do another hubstuck throw, but it was fun to do. I missed the whole modding era of yoyoing, so I’m having fun with catching up. I think next I might try to recess a Pro-Z to take CoreCo pads.
