End of an era, indeed. For a long time YYJ tops were the
top dogs of bearing kingdom (sorry BK
). The emergence of S8 sealed their fate, but I had already stopped using them on freestyles because the lack of replacements. I have barely thrown YYJ in the last 3 years (except for the buldog caps on my HP
). I may still have a few extra tips but I'll keep them to rescue orphaned tops I may find.
If I was a pro performer like you, I would just stock up on indestructible S8's (or QS's if you use any fixed tip). They are also bigger size what is good for visibility and the S8's come with the pointy tips you like.
