Hi

What ABEC are the bearings in the ReVoLuTiOn Kits.  I ask because I have some bearings and am wondering if i can improve it (I doubt it).

[Kingsid3]

LZ I kinda want some of these. Make them into Z-stacks then i will buy 

[Nick]

I'm pretty sure Z-Stacks on a diabolo would be pretty much impossible to grab, unless you have hands like Sagat's. Do you have hands like Sagat's?

Nick.

[Kingsid3]

Maybe i do, but it would open up alot of stuff, like Head grind/stall cos of the bigger surface area.

from the bottom of my palm to the top of my middle finger is 8in so yes I could grab those quite easily as I can grab/grip a finesse which would be larger quite easily.

Use of Z-Stacks shown in this video at 0:55. As you can see, when using the Z-Stacks you grab both sides of the yo-yo in a pinch. The Z-Stacks give you a larger surface area to grab, allowing you to be less accurate when aiming for the hub stacks. They do not stick out past the yo-yo's rim, so it would be difficult to grab just one of them, or balance the spinning yo-yo on them.
Assuming I have average sized hands to go with my average height, I believe most people would find it both difficult and uncomfortable to hold a spinning diabolo in the position shown in the video for any length of time without touching the rims of the diabolo.
Of course progress is all about proving doubts such as these wrong. I would love to see what people could come up with if these ever got built.

Kingsid3, If you are interested in head stalls, I think you would have more luck with a Top Tip setup.

So, I don´t know anything about Z-stacks...but could they be made to be more pointy? If so would it be possible to hold them between both hands and place them on the floors almost like one-sided ones? By pointy I don´t mean like a normal one-sided but just so that they stick out from the cup a little and could be caught with fingers and sticks more easily? Maybe you could just jam the sticks into them?

Don´t even know exactly what I mean myself (it´s late... ) so I hope someone understand. And even if they couldn´t be made pointy would it be so impossible to use both hands to grab them if they were like normal (don´t understand the problem there)?

Diabolo88 are you maybe thinking about somthing like this http://www.yoyonation.com/product.php?productid=16480&cat=332&page=1? If so i think LZ is working on making some.

[William]

Man, oh man. I would give my future first born for those things on one of my flys..

That´s exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of (didn´t know if such a thing existed or not). Thanks Kingsid3.
