yoyofactory Yuuksta can come in a large C size bearing or a small bearing. What’s the difference? does one effect spin times or something? I’m a noob still learning these things.  
Also, is the small bearing a center trac by any chance (with the yuuksta)

Small bearings bind tighter and faster. Not for the faint of heart. They might snag. Great for 5A. I love them. If you play super clean, get a SB.

Large bearings are better for 1A by most people’s standards. Less snaggy.

Bigger bearings are less snaggy, and I seem to find them easier to work with.  
Smaller bearings have easier binds, runs faster but it’s easier to be responsive.

I prefer the big ones.

I suggest the big ones as the big ones are sometimes more expensive.
