Anatomy of a cup

The world's fastest stackers use Speed Stacks gear. They know the best cup equals the best performance. Here's what sets Speed Stacks cups apart:

Special Shoulder

The special shoulder with ribs gives just the right separation between cups. When seated on top of the other they simply don't stick. One cup can be picked up off another leaving that cup behind; one cup can be dropped out of a set of cups from the bottom simply by releasing the finger holding it.

Reinforced Lip

The reinforced lip of the cup is just the right size, not too pronounced, with a smooth, clean finish.

Inside of Cup is Smooth for Less Friction

The inside surface of a Speed Stack is smooth for less friction

3 Holes

The 3 holes in the top are very important to fast stacking. These holes allow air to escape quickly when downstacking.

Memory

Speed Stacks have "memory". If a single cup is accidentally squeezed at the lip it will bounce back into its round shape.

Textured Outside

The outside surface of each Speed Stack cup has been textured for a terrific feel and grip.
