In 2011 as far as I understand there were 2 versions of 888, one was produced in the USA and the other in china, what are the differences? and which one is better?

That’s an 888X production from China.

Neither YoYo is “better” than the other the X stands for 10 and you are thinking of the 888.11 that was made in the USA.

Ehh the 888.11 seems to be much more highly regarded.

I feel that - but again that’s subjective. I have every model year and revision of the 888 or have owned it at one point. Each one has a different play feel, the 888x is a little weighty feeling the .11 to me is a little too large

.11 is my least favorite 888
