YoyoJam in stock!
4 March 2012
Yep, that's right folks! Our order has finally cleared SA customs! You can view YoyoJam products over here, but don't forget to also check out our other store pages.
We've also brought in Speed Bearings. These feature 10 balls as opposed to the standard 8 ball bearing. This results in smoother play and a longer lasting bearing. And they also ship dry for immediate unresponsive play. Don't forget that YYJ silicone o-rings will fit any YYJ model that take the black rubber o-rings, so if you have an old YoyoJam lying around, buy a bearing and silicone o-rings for super smooth, unresponsive play!
