Hi all! I’m Kerry from Australia and I’m a beginner Yoyo’r (2 weeks!). I currently only own a couple of Duncans and a replay&replay pro. I don’t know what happened to me but all of a sudden I got a yoyo itch when i stumbled into Toyworld and saw some Duncan and YYF yoyos in my peripheral! Next minute…. I bought all of those YoYo’s and went home to binge on YouTube watching literally every single yoyo video made Tbh, i’m 39 now and don’t think I will ever be able to get really good at it but it won’t stop me having fun playing the yoyo as it also brings back memories from my childhood day’s! So the reason why I’m asking for the best recommendations for a undersized hubstack yoyo is so that i can put in my pocket and mess around on the fly (regardless of how advanced the yoyo is). The price is no issue as i have a decent job. I’ve just learned how to do basic bind, the ufo, sideway karate chops that re adjust twisty string and a few more tricks on that level (sorry for forgetting trick names ). Yes, I’ve watched many YouTubers recommendations on what i’m after but, more recommendations the merrier. Then see if they line up with what i’m thinking or if I’m missing something else thats good? Im thinking 888, 444 or little confusion (I’m so ready to just hit pay on the shopping cart screen on a ozzy yoyosite for last 3 days for the little confusion )
Thx in advance and i will be researching every yoyo that everyone recommends to me KER
Honestly any variant of the 888 is probably your best bet. Hubstacks inevitably add a bit if vibe and something like the yyf five will vibe a good bit. Big deal is very small and hubstack play on that is hard to do along with binds in general.
the confusion can be a fun hubstack for responsive play and take measures.
Because YoYo factory owns the patent for hubstacks most of your options will be yyf. There are a few rice stack options from China brands that don’t care about US IP laws but generally it’s all yyf.
If you want to go bigger the old grind machine was a neat hubstack too.
Little confusion is neat but it’s a tad small and hard to play making the hubstacks more finicky than it’s worth in my view but I do take mine with me in a car ride to take measure while in the passenger seat.
444 is super light and hard to play I would steer away from that option for now as it makes hubstack play harder
I love my 888x’s. Affordable, available, undersized, fully capable.
If you want a REALLY undersized hubstacked yo, check out the Big Deal by YYF, or if you want something a little larger but still smol, the 66% 888 plays incredibly well for its size, it’s amazing.
There are many variants to the 888, varying wildly in price, from like $40 for a beat up one, to $400 for a pristine ‘07/‘08.
I have heard the “888 OG” takes its shape from an “ideal 07/08 888” (apparently when they were first made they would vary a bit within the run, they would match halves by hand) and replicates to make what would be a top notch original run 888
Some of the hubstacked stuff I have. I seem to have gave away the myy k1 at some point but I think this collection gives you an idea of what to look at that has that specific gimmick
Small is also its own catagory and if you can go without the hubstacks but want an advanced yoyo that’s small I would say the @Cmchappell97 corvus is solid and the general to Ministar is golden.
Personally I don’t like YoYo’s that go smaller than the masamini and even then an monometal smaller than a recess snack is usually really underpowered. even though I do collect stuff like the strum panzer mini and everything inbetween.
Thx everyone , im def thinking 888 now. The Lemon and five are sold out here in Australia. But there is a superstar Gold 0’8’ & a 888 Black 07’ art. Are they pretty similar or something distinct that separates them?
