OK so I want an awsome yoyo and I have heard that both of these are really good. Which one should I get? what have you heard about em? what have you experienced? I like tapered or rounded butterflys undersized string tricks smooth play which one? ---

Based on what you have said I say go for the 888. I have owned one in the past and enjoyed it very much, although it just wasnt right for me. As for the Cut, ive never tried it. Needless to say I have much more good things about the 888 rather than the Cut. 888 has my vote ---

I go for 888. If you want a round yoyo than get the 888. keep spinning ``` yokaiyo ``` ---

The 888 is more rounded. HSpin rrocks though, so denying your preference, I would personally go for the CUT. But the 888 seems better for you. ---

I as well will say 888. However, you didn’t give much information, but with the info you gave the 888 works :wink: ---

Well if you go to the b/s/t forum part there’s this guy trading a 401K and a 888 (2009) for DV888. Idk if he’s still trading but it’s a amazingly dumb trade for him. ---

> [@patriotsfan](#): > > 888 best yoyo i have ever used Exaggeration right? Its not that great. Id take an FHZ over an 888. 888 seems very unstable. Ive nver played a Cut but id probably buy that instead. ---

Due to the information you gave (which is not specific enough). The 888 seems to be the perfect choice for you. ;D ---

i have tried both, i own the 888, i would go for the 888 because you say you want smooth play? the cut’s smoothness goes away after about a month of play. and also, tests show that the 888 spins longer and can take more loops around the bearing. so my vote is 888 ---
