The Red Elite is the first hub-stacked yoyo from Euro-Yo and is a professional quality all metal yo-yo designed for unresponsive play and advanced yoyo tricks. With a brightly coloured anodised finish, Elite yoyos are precision made from high grade anodized aluminium. Featuring free-spinning ball bearing side hubstacks which allow the creation of new tricks, these yoyos will provide a lot of fun and new challenges. Like our other euro-yo brand yoyos, the Elite is fitted with a top quality stainless steel 10 ball unshielded concave bearing for long spin times, and is unresponsive in use, requiring a bind to play. It has recessed silicone response pads which provide a nice consistent bind, and replacement silicone pads are on sale in our store should they need replacing. The Elite is sold complete with three yoyo strings and plays as well as it looks. In common with all our Euro-Yo brand yoyos, the Elite has a good weight balance with enough rim weight to achieve decent spin times. Despite the presence of hubstacks, we are pleased to be able to say that this yoyo remains nicely stable with no significant vibe when thrown.
This yoyo is unresponsive and binding skills are required to get it to return to the hand. It is suitable for intermediate and advanced level players. A beautiful hubstacked yoyo that is exclusive to euro-yo!
About hubstacks
A hub stack is a cap on the side of the yoyo that rotates on a bearing on the same axis as the yoyo axle, so you can hold the yoyo by the hubstacks and do new tricks. A yoyo with hubstacks has a total of 3 ball bearings, the main bearing plus two smaller hub bearings. Hubstacks on a yoyo allow some pretty cool new tricks to be learned, but there is a payoff: they can introduce wobble, the yoyo will tend to cost a bit more, and the addition of hubstacks means a bit less weight on the rim of the yoyo, altering the balance of the yoyo. Hubstacks can be removed, though this is not always that easy and the hubstack ‘shaft’ will remain, besides, removing the hubstacks rather defeats the point of buying a yoyo with hub! If you are not sure if you want hubstacks, we would recommend getting a yoyo without hubstacks such as the euro-yo Spirit. You can always buy a hubstacked yoyo later.
