I have narrowed down my topics to the YYF G5 and the YYF 888x. G5 has colorful Z-stacks and is a great shape. 888x has hubstacks and is very small but also a great shape. Which one? ---

The G5 has a step down shape. Well, what feel do you like? And since the 888 stacks are so hard to catch. whats the use then? I say G5. ---

888x any day. G5 is too slow for me. 888 is so good, even better than an MVP! ---

Dude if it was me I’d go Hub stacked Genesis, but hey I like the Full Sized throws. G5 feels kind of like a skinny Genesis, so I like it, but it feels funny in my very large hands. I have only tried friends 888x’s and can say that if I had the money I would own one of those as well. ---

I actually agree with Buddy Jim. I’d say Genesis Stacked too. ---

ya the genesis is extremely smooth and stable … it is probley best than g5 or 888x if i were u tho i would get mabey a 44 special while they stil are around idk y but i would kill fr that yoyo… to me it is a 888x only 10x better for the same price
