The XLR8 is a hybrid model containing a metal body with celcon rims. These celcon rims have an extremely smooth feel on the outer edges, making grind tricks easy. The metal body balances the yo-yo perfectly, which will allow your style to look smoother than ever.

Not only does this yo-yo have the smooth feel inside and out, but also its shape is designed for modern day yo-yoing — low cut walls and rounded rims. It feels just right in the hand. The yo-yo comes stocked with YoYoJam’s Solid Spin Axle system, 10 Ball Speed Bearing, and silicone response to generate a smoother style.

We don’t have a lot of details (other than the marketing copy above) on the new YoYoJam XLR8 yoyo being released at Worlds this year, but from this promo video we’ve figured out a few key details about YoYoJam and the XLR8.

1. XLR8 requires awkward poses.
2. XLR8 has a really wide gap and an insanely open profile.
3. YoYoJam forces their apprentice team members to identify themselves via secret handshake.
4. Two out of three YoYoJam apprentices are really short.
