The YoYoFactory eight8eight is a flared gap yo-yo released on May 5, 2007. The eighth release in the "Project Red Alert" series, it has the free-spinning hubstacks of the G5 but a more traditional rounded profile. For this yo-yo, YoYoFactory tightened up their manufacturing techniques to make their smoothest throw ever. There is a second version of the yo-yo with a smaller bearing designed to satisfy 5A players, and a rumor of a third version to be released late in 2007.
The 2nd run of aqua blue edition is heavy as 68 grams, with a slightly slimmer width and more concaved body.
