OMG, how dare you two have your own opinions! YOUR OPINION IS ALL WRONG!!!1!111!!! Its impossible that you don’t like a yoyo that I like. I vote we shun the both of them forever for actually having their own opinions.
I don’t think it’d be ruined, I mean, you don’t have to get one if you didn’t want to. it’s always good to push the envelope and try new designs, right? I didn’t like the look of the Glacier Express, but I heard it plays really well. and so what if it fails, at least they would have done something different. I think it’d be interesting.
As a one-off mod, absolutely. For a production run? Absolutely not.
Hubstacks are a novelty for the majority of throwers due to the difficulty of incorporating them into combos smoothly. Of course there are a few good uses for them, but on the whole they just create stack-drag and make noise. The Chief is a competition throw and really doesn’t need anything slowing it down.
Of course many competition throws have hubstacked versions (Genesis, Superstar, DNA?), but you rarely see anyone compete with the stacks installed. That’s for a very good reason. Why make a great yoyo slower while only adding a very limited and “done-to-death” series of tricks to it’s potential repertoire?
