Neither. Ceramics really aren’t that different from a regular KK. But the 888x is a lot more stable with a KK. ---

And which yo-yo do you reccomend? And ı thought ceramic KK’s spin time is more than a regular KK? ---

> [@TanCredo](#): > > And which yo-yo do you reccomend? And ý thought ceramic KK’s spin time is more than a regular KK? It dosen’t increase the spin time that much at all, less than 10 seconds and if you just spin the bearing then it is like 2 seconds longer than the regular kk. I would definitly recomend the genesis over the 888x, much longer spin times and alot more stable. It is an all around great throw. I use center tracs in my yoyos, give you a flat area to play on and it just keeps the string away from the sides but dosen’t bunch it up, and they are actually very nice bearings-long lasting and very well made, in my opinion and through experience with other bearins. ---

Well,should ı buy a regular KK bearing an a Genesis? Is that enough? For all those crazy string tricks,slacks,whips? 😛 😃 ---

> [@TanCredo](#): > > Well,should ı buy a regular KK bearing an a Genesis? Is that enough? For all those crazy string tricks,slacks,whips? 😛 😃 Stick with the stock bearing. Really, the only way to know is to try though. I like the Terrapin X Wing-Cut because they play like flat bearing with the benefit of the concave to help keep the string centered. Other than that, I figure the company that makes the yoyo knows better than I do what should go in there. If the feel a center track, koncave or whatever is what I should be using in there, I lack the knowledge and skill to argue with them. But it does comes down to preferences. I recommend people have a set of spare bearings for trial purposes. ---

A long time ago I bought a bunch of ceramic bearings… I believe it was like 4 of them for 10 bucks? Over time, I noticed something… Ceramics gave no aid to play whatsoever. No improvement in spintime at all, maybe against a stock steel yyj bearing, but not from a kk, 10ball, etc… but that’s all highly debatable. What I did notice was that I never once had to do any maintenance on them. They never locked up either. Steel bearings on the other hand locked up on me quite often. Do note that I used run my bearings completely dry… I now apply some lube to dampen the noise, then chuck it on a drill to ‘break it in’. Ceramics… I still run dry, as nothing’s gone wrong with them. They are also very quiet as well ! It could’ve been because I bought the bearings from another source (It wasn’t a yoyo related store), who knows. TL;DR : In my experience ceramics offer no benefits to play, they just last much longer than your average bearing. ---

It was decided. I’m getting genesis and normal concave bearing. And you are really hard to understand guys for me :D. Thanks for comments.
