They are decent bearings; nothing special. Both of mine have eight balls in the. Though, the number of balls doesn’t really affect anything. ---

all normal bearings except the bigyo 2 bearing and the ten ball bearings have 8 balls i believe and imo the 10 balls are better then most bearings ---

yes the yyf bearing have 8 balls within the bearing race, these bearings are good, but the more balls in the race the less wear will occure to the balls with more of the wear evenly spread over 10 balls rather that 8. Basically a 10 ball bearing will last longer than an 8 ball bearing ---

For the billionth time… the number of balls in the bearing has NO IMPACT on how long a bearing will last, how well it will perform, or any other ridiculous thing kids make up. The reason the onedrop bearings are good, is because they are good bearings… it makes no difference if they were 8, 10, or 20000 ball bearings. (ok, 20,000 might make a difference…) Kyle ---

Yoyolunatic. Kyo is right. Now is a severe heat and high stress situation the amount of balls may be a factor. Problem is there is no heat nor any stress in a yoyo. It’s all free spin. Kyo has also done extensive research on things like this. I did as well trying to prove him wrong. I failed. He is right. ---

Your sample size is too small to hold any scientific value. And what about this being the internet changes the need for coherent grammar and spelling? ---

I love the rules! Also he’s not talking about how you spell a word wrong. He’s talking about how your whole post is terribly hard to read for someone that doesn’t speak English as their first language. Show them a little respect. Give them a chance at reading what you are saying. ---
