Good question. I have no idea. The ten ball is more expensive? [http://static2.fjcdn.com/comments/I+have+no+idea+what+I+m+doing+thread+\_06af9676f192d84f17cf5a5816dc7523.jpg](http://static2.fjcdn.com/comments/I+have+no+idea+what+I+m+doing+thread+_06af9676f192d84f17cf5a5816dc7523.jpg) ---

The SPEED bearings are 10 ball. From memory, I think the difference is in the type of cage used to keep the balls in place. Yuki ---

The 10 Ball is better ;D Only kidding, that’s simply my opinion, but they most definitely have a different feel to them. One of those things you just have to try for yourself and decide what you like better. :wink: ---

One of those things you just have to try for yourself and decide what you like better. :wink: I agree. I prefer the 10 Ball over the YYJ Speed most of the time. Both are great bearings. I have just found the OD bearing to be noticeably smoother. I do buy and use both. Normally, I like to keep things stock. ---

> [@SR1](#): > > Probably all made in the same factory bro. Possibly, but that doesn’t mean it’s on the same assembly line or same spec run. I am now curious. I gotta take some bearings apart and see the differences. Might post a picture. That wouldn’t necessarily be conclusive. ---

Many things could be different. Materials, build quality, care, machines used. ---
