Ah yes, the “Hubstack”-- just admit it… you love them.
But don’t worry, you’re not alone. I too love our little separately spinning friends-- I love what they do; I love how they make a yo-yo feel during tricks, even if I’m not using the Hubstacks; all around, they are great!
So now I ask you…
“What’s Your Favorite Hubstack Compatible Yo-Yo?”
No matter which model it may be-- share it here, I’d love to know all about your faves!
No, I do not. I have never found a use for hubstacks that justifies the weight and negative effect that they have on yo-yo performance. They are a novelty that even YYF has used less and less.
Weird. I was just wishing I had an '07-08 888 tonight. I pop on the forum, and here’s this thread.
I’ll never pay what that throw goes for, but it has a special place in my memory as it was considered the “elite” yoyo when I first got into the hobby. I remember watching a video on YT of the sleep time with that thing and being in utter shock with my Duncan Mosquito
It’d be cool to have a cheap hubstack throw again. Auldey makes some cool, innovative hubstack & free-spinning shell designs; sadly, YYE doesn’t carry them, and they’re rare on the BST.
Yoyofactory recently made 07 888 replicas, supposedly true to spec and I have heard good things (but I haven’t tried one.). Might be your answer for 59.99.
Alright, I was just talking to my brother, I’ll be trading one of my 2 Shutters for it; he seemed very understanding of me kind of wanting my first good yoyo back. (I traded it to him for his Bassacuda awhile back)
