Im looking to buy a new yoyo, I heard the superstar and genesis are good. So which would you prefer and why? Also, if those two aren’t as good as I thought, is the 888x better ( thats only if the superstar and genesis aren’t as good as I thought, but I think they are). Thanks. ---

I don’t know either of the throws, but they are legendary for being excellent throws. Most people will tell you that both significantly outperform the 888x, but of course that’s a matter of opinion. If you weren’t aware, there’s a great YYF sale going on right now: > **[2013 YoYoFactory PRO PACKS - YoYoExpert.com](https://yoyoexpert.com/YoYoFactory-Pro-Packs/)** > > Watch free yo-yo trick videos, learn from professional yo-yo players, and buy yo-yos from the YoYo Expert! I would be surprised if a Supernova or Genesis didn’t appear one of those days. ---

Which do you think is better and why? Also if these aren’t that good, should I get an 888x instead? Thanks guys!!! ---

Every day at 8 I clock go look at the Link GregP mentioned and see if a genesis supernova or 888x comes up. I have only tried the genesis and I loved it. But the superstar, never tried it. GENESIS sounds better. When it pops up in that link get it!
