Named for the bingo phrase "N 88 - Two Fat Ladies", this smooth player from Australia is a great piece of machinery with adjustability. It is beefcaked (two bearings) and can be tuned to any player's personal preferences.
Uniquely, the Two Fat Ladies 88's dual C-bearing setup helps to center the string, similar to a KonKave bearing...but different. Beefcaking doesn't place all the strings on top of each other like a KK tends to do. It acts like a flat bearing by allowing the string to sit side by side during a trick. It makes it easier to select any string without causing an unexpected bind or snag.
This allows for a very unique and smooth play, especially when doing gerbil-like tricks. It also has very pointy "Matador" hubs on the sides for top-like tricks, as well as pullstarts.
