Yes and no. There are some tricks you can do with them, including catching them, but they can get boring. I would try to get to a contest or meet-up to try them out. ---

They are a nice little touch and sometimes to do a trick with them once in a while. I’m OK with them, but they aren’t super important or anything. Again, a nice touch to the yoyo and gives it character, and fun to make up tricks off of. I think they are worth it. But I wouldn’t buy a yoyo just for the hubstacks. 🙂 ---

Yeah. Basically, don’t let hubstacks decide whether or not to get a particular yoyo. ---

I recently got a G5 with z-stacks and find they slow down the yoyo too fast. Taking them off is a huge improvement…I was wondering if hubstacks would be a decent medium. Thx ---

Yeah, My friend has a G5, and then he took the Z-Stacks out and put hubstacks in, and that made a huge improvement in the G5. ---

> [@sa11297](#): > > if thats the case why do they come standard for with so many yoyos :-[ You cant just slap a pair of bearing, O-rings, and hubstacks on any yoyo and pull it… The yoyo has to have the posts in the Hub area… HUBSTACKS ARE AWESOME!! Thats just my opinion… I love them… I have so much fun, I like to play my G5 with the Z-Stacks… I’ve found with a good throw it doesn’t slow the yoyo to the point of hindering play… I wanna by one of the new Genesis that are coming out with stacks. Trading away my GM2 was a horrible mistake… I hope your happy James… But yeah, dont buy a G5 for the stacks, buy one because its awesome… look at yoyos for the yoyo… ---
