Hi, can someone post some pictures of an 888, axiom and meteor side by side, comparing the height, width and gap width?(Throw a dark magic into the photo so that i can scale them!) I wanna see how their sizes compare to each other. Also, can you tell me which one is best for grinds, thumb grinds, whips and lacerations? Thanks in advanced ;D! ---

I would have to say 888. The shape feels so good in your hand, and it play’s so smooth. The hubstacks are awsome also. If you like undershaped yo-yo’s get the 888. ~Steven ---

I don’t have an axiom. I would love too compare them for you, just don’t have the Axiom. ---

I just got a 888 yesterday, and I can’t Grind with it - the hubstacks get in the way. I’ve got a BvM that I learned to grind with, so maybe I’m spoiled =) The 888 is a perfect size for me - it’s slightly undersized, which brings my hand happy joy fun time bliss. Haven’t used any of the others. ---

No, I don’t have Meteor or Axiom. Tried both from friend of mine, and never really liked the feel too much. So I never invested in them. I will however try to find some comparison pics for ya, if I do I’ll post them. ---

I really dont like Axioms. They feel sloppy to me. I like 888’s, but it really depends on what edition you get. 09’s are too heavy, I wish they were lighter by 1-2g.

Okay - I got you covered. I made a word document with the pictures. They arent exact, because I had to tweak it a little to make it fit on the same line, but it should do. ---

Haha. I said this in the chat once, and I mean no disrespect to anyone. But its a little sad when we start thinking that a yo-yo is better than another yo-yo. I guarantee you that if people put a Legacy or a PGM in the hands of say, Andrew Robinson or Guy Wright, they could most likely do all of their tricks that they do on metals. Once again, I’m not trying to put anyone down. I like to compare yo-yos myself =D. Just remember that it is the yo-yoer that really matters. The yo-yo does also, just not as much =D ---
