If you’ve ever seen a yoyo spinning while someone grabs it from the sides, you’ve probably witnessed hubstacks in action. Hubstacks are special hubs that are attached to the sides of a yoyo, powered by small bearings. They allow the player to grab, pull, and manipulate the yoyo directly while it’s spinning to perform “impossible” style tricks.
What Can You Do With Hubstacks?
- Pull-start your yoyo straight into spinning without throwing it.
- Catch the yoyo mid-trick and release it again.
- Perform flashy DNA-style tricks (spinning on your fingertips).
Originally introduced by YoYoFactory, hubstacks became a phenomenon in the late 2000s and remains one of the most unique features added to yoyos.
The Yoyo 888 – The Hubstack Legend
The YoYoFactory 888 is the yoyo that made hubstacks famous. First released in 2007, it became one of the most influential yoyos of its era, loved by world champions and hobby players alike.
With hubstacks on both sides, the 888 allowed for DNA tricks, pull-starts, and a whole new style of flashy play. It remains the benchmark for hubstack yoyos and a must-have for collectors.
