If you do like using hubstacks… please state what yoyo you have that uses them. 😃

I used a grind machine for the first time last night and it was fun. I want to do that stack mod for the hayabusa so I don’t have to throw it if the ceiling is too low

I love hubstacks 🙂
I see no real reason why people would hate them, other than those who love matadors instead. 😛
It’s occasionally annoying to when thumb grinding, but it’s easy take them off.
BTW, I use it with the 888 🙂

They’re ok unless you can catch them easily. 888.

I love my 888x because in mid-play you can grab it, change the plane of the yoyo and balance it so on so forth. Some stuff I was trying to make up requires hubstacks. plus it adds a bit of customization to the throw I mean think of the colors of ricestacks, combo that with string colors, you can get a different feel out of your throws (aesthetically speaking)

They’re alright. I use them in my Skyline, but only for weight.

I had them off my 888x B-Grade for awhile, but I put them back on because it looked really tacky. Once someone restocks nubs I’ll buy some, and put them on there. I want my PGm’s hubstacks off because my brothers PGM v1 plays so good without stacks and now I want them off mine, but I can’t seem to get them off even with pliers. I have them on my pink 888x, and I want to keep them on there. Don’t know why. I have to admit though that hubstacks get boring after 10 minutes.

I like them… Well I like the idea of them more then I actually like them… See what I’m sayin?
They’re are a really cool concept and can let you do some amazing things if you know how to use them properly. But to me, they are mostly a novelty.
And I have them on my PGM and my Stealth 888 that I’m getting in two weeks ;D

I like them for fun.
Learning some hubstack based trick, and hubstack do cool.
So they are alright for me.
I use them on my xxx, g5, and L3.

Do hubstacks affect any thing in your play? I’m just wondering… because I was going to get either an 888x or skyline but should I not get those because they have hubstacks? This sounds like a pretty redundant question, but I was just curious… 😃

They add about 2 grams, and get boring after a day or so.

How is that redundant…
Most people keep hubstacks on their Skylines because they are very light without them, so if you get a Skyline, you’re most likely going to want to keep them on. However, with an 888x, you can go both ways.

They are the same size. And IMO the Skyline is a much better yo-yo than the 888.

I like hubstacks, but dont personally own a yoyo that has them. I always like playing with my friend’s GM that has them.
