YoYoJam Eneme (Production Version) - A YoYoSkills.com Review

Let me drop a history lesson logic bomb for some if the newer yoyoers. The X-Con design is almost five years old. Five. If the X-Con was a kid named Timmy, Timmy would be in the Kindergarten learning about Johnny Appleseed, eating paste and playing 4 square at recess. Johnny DelValle designed and tested the X-Con after his 2003 Yo-Yo contest sweep. In 2003 Johnny DelValle won BAC, Nationals, and Worlds AND was awarded Trick Innovator of the Year. After this incredible domination, and a year of testing, the X-Con was released in 2005. It was then re-released it at the beginning of 2006 as the X-Convict. This new model had a different plastic on the body but was largely unchanged. For almost 4 years (Yeah, it boggles me that we are on the verge of 2010 also) the X-Convict has been a staple in the industry. 2009 is coming to the end, and we are going to close the year with a revisit to the beloved X-Con. The Eneme, designed and tested by Johnny DelValle, has been heralded as the much anticipated metal X-Con, something that fans of YoYoJam have been demanding for years.

Thans to Bob at Bird in Hand who helped me get accurate dates on the X-Con History.

Really looks like an 888 with thicker rims. Does the Eneme have a different axle than standard YYJs?

YoYoJam's Eneme should be here @ TheYoStore this Friday!

I'm
Can't wait

Chris, am I the only one that noticed how similar the play felt to a(n) X-Convict? Of course, I've only played the proto...

Nope, It has a very similar play

Awesome!
Hmm, by the looks of the pic.. it looks hubstack-able?

Does leather rubbing on the gapp solve the string rubbing permantly? I might want one of these.

It worked for me. The purpose is to wear down the finish in the recess area so that when it hits the string, it is not eating it.

It looks identical to me, just with that line for the "rims" farther towards the middle. Ok, besides that part inside the rims sticking out.

I know. Thanks. If I get one, it will be the first thing I do. Its one of the biggest things I fear. Flying yoyos of death.

I had a raw one a while ago. It was really fun, but I don't think it had enough rim weight. When it started to lose spin, it would just kinda flop very shortly after. Does the production run remedy this problem?

I had the same problem with the proto. The production version is much better

I heard they fixed the string snapping problem.
