what are your preferences?
If you answer these questions it will make it sooooooo much easier for us to pick the right choice for you.
what size do you prefer?
what shape do you prefer? (don’t just say butter fly, these shapes\> )-( D-C are definitely different, but there both butter fly.
what weight do you prefer?
what play style do you like? (fast, smooth, tech, etc.)
is grinding important?
Does color matter?
do you like to mod it, or keep it the way it is?
Pleeeeease answer these questions so we can help you even better.

no hub stacks are not needed. infact lots of people stop liking them after a couple of weeks and some people say that is makes the yoyo less stable. not everyone but some. and i am told that they arent used for comp. much only for fun

Agreed.
It also adds weight, making the yoyo a little slower IMO.
Most of the YYF fundametals play very well, and the beastly DV888 is on sale.

$85-boss-price is a bit high
$65-potege-looks good i think best out of the three
$45-dv888-also looks good
i guess the hard part is up to me…

Thanks for all the help!
