The 888x from YoYoFactory is a combination of all previous eight8eight releases. YoYoFactory took what people liked about the eight8eight as well as what they disliked into consideration when making the 888x. YoYoFactory didn't stop at design changes, they went to the factory in China and trained the workers on how to make the 888x as smooth as possible.

From YoYoFactory:
The 888 marks the beginning of a revolution. Until very recently, full metal yo-yos were more of a novelty than high skill competition yo-yos. In 2007, YoYoFactory's design team decided to change the way metal yo-yos were viewed. The goal was to create a metal yo-yo that offered such drastic performance improvements over all other yo-yos on the market that it would become the new benchmark in modern yo-yo performance. It's machined with the same accuracy that is used in the aerospace industry and spins so smooth, you can barely feel it spinning!

The 888x ships with a SPEC bearing and CBC slim pad response.
