Get the Superstar. Playwise, they are kinda the same IMO except the Superstar is slimmer than the Supernova. Plus, you get hubstacks which is a bonus like you said. If I were you, I’d get the green with green splash genesis special edition. More people like the Genesis than the Superstar and the Supernova.

I played a Superstar. Now I want to get one! Then get the Trifecta Bearing and pop that in there. Then, remove the stack bearings and clean them out really good and put them back.

I haven’t played a SuperNova, so I can’t comment. In general, I’m pretty pleased with YYF throws, although I mostly have plastics. Still, it’s good stuff.

I always recommend if you can, try before you buy. There’s a few stores that let you do so.

I own a superstar, and even with the crappy 8 ball SPEC I have in it, it still plays awesome. It’s my favorite yoyo. I don’t own a supernova, but I’m sure it plays fine. Most of YYF’s metals play well
