Totally in my preference, 888x. It also rules for grinding.

Totally in my preference, we should ask the OP’s preferences before we blindly shout out a recommendation. They’re both amazing yoyos with completely different feels. It is true that the 888x is a beast for grinds, but the G5 is also a very excellent grinder as well. And quite honestly, my G5 is playing smoother now than my 888x is.

If you like small and round, go with the 888x. If you like larger and angular, go with the G5. Pick which one fits your preferences as far as shape and size, or if you have no preferences, flip a coin or go with whichever one you think looks cooler.
