Genesis all the way. Great, stable and lots of people prefer it over others.
888x is also great though.

Then what could we possibly add to this?
In reality they are all good and it comes down to individual preference. None are “better”.

OD 54. Unless you really want hubstacks 888x is fine. The 54 also has some side effects and/or “stacks”.

Why don’t people give preference to what they want…? Anyway,OD 54 all the way but 888 if you want a stacked. Gotta agree with Skeleton.

Well since you said that, no matter stacked or not needed to be stacked, OD 54 is the choice.

Beginners often do not have preferences. I don’t mean to call anyone a beginner. I have been yoyoing quite some time now, and I still don’t have very well defined preferences.

There is one yoyo that has no preference, OD 54. You’ll love it. Just that it’s 54mm.
