Do the lateral caps on the yyj theory spin independently? Are they basically like hubstacks? Thanks! ---

no, but the dimple is slick enough to spin for a really long time on your finger ---

Oh, I thought they did due to this: “lateral caps feature a precisely shaped low-surface area inner cup molded from chemical resistant celcon making it possible to virtually hold the yo-yo while spinning and easily balance it in a horizontal position for new tricks and quite simply to impress those around you. It looks like magic in the hands of a skilled player.” (product description of the lateral caps on yoyoexpert) ---

It’s harder, but not that hard. It’s because the caps are really slick ---

So it’s more like having spikes, as in matador play then. Is that correct? ---

> [@yoyobrandon](#): > > So are you saying that they sort of spin, or are you saying that they are more similar to matador? The caps DONT spin. Like nard said its like doing a fingerspin on any yoyo… you can grab on the dimples andit’s like matador I said its easier cuz its easier to grab the dimples than the spikes. But yhe caps do NOT spin ---
