Hey all, I’m fairly new to this forum. You all seem like a nice bunch. I was wondering if you could help me out. So, I’ve been kind of bored lately and have been poking around the hubstack yoyos. Although I can’t really seem to make a decision. I was hoping I could somehow modify a yoyo or take parts from a Grind Machine and stick 'em in another. Although I’m having trouble finding a throw to do that with. Any suggestions? I’m open to ideas. Thanks YYE, Sheeep ---

I stacked a yoyo simply called “stainless steel yoyo.” It’s hard to unscrew, but it fun. ---

Magicyoyo has a hubstacked throw, called the N9 floating cloud or something of the sort, the major advantage it has is that the hub stack posts fit a full sized standard C bearing, which may be fun to mess around with. No guaranties about quality or a decent finish though. ---

Back in the day, people used to take the parts out of a plastic Grind Machine and use them to stack FHZs. There are plenty of projects like this so it wouldn’t take much Google searching to find instructions. ---

Speaking of non yyf hubstacks I once bought a yoyo called the finhop. It was only 5 bucks, but it had terrible hubstacks. Buyer beware you get what you pay for. The yoyo was still fun after I replaced everything. Took the hubs off replaced the bearing removed the spacers 're did the response, and changed the string, then it was a fun throw. ---

It is kinda sad how hubstacks fell out of favor in modern yo-yoing. I guess I can understand due to simplicity and lower overall cost. Plus reduction in center weight! I heard there was a patent issue as well? I also got a YoYoEmpire Blade Warrior in a mystery box, I had never heard of it and that’s a hubstack yoyo too. Seems current-ish, I am getting hits on 2017 for it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/a/a/1aaa340af5f9cfa25d49aaefffc79d9e27cfb473.jpeg)
