Ok, my X-con finally came in the mail today, it feels great and all, but I’m a little worried about If I can play with it well. Any tips you guys can give would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. ``` -Josh ``` ---

Make sure you have comfortable string length, dont hit things. just dont whack things! It will hurt your heart when ur yoyo gets dented. ---

yeah, after the second dent, you’ll realise that you’re getting dents every day. Now, i don’t really care about my dark magic getting dented, but when you get your first dent, you’re gonna really be sad for a minute, while staring at the convict. ---

My X-Convict came Super responsive. If you find it catching and smashing your knuckles consider changing the response - It comes with a double O-ring, and I keep taking them out and shaving them down so they recess more, but haven’t yet gotten it unresponsive. I know the gap is adjustable, but it doesn’t make a huge difference. I’m going to try putting flowable silicone on it next. ---

Ya, the first scratch was hard, but now I’m kinda used to it. Any opinions on what tricks would be best for an X-convict? ??? ``` -Josh ``` ---

I don’t understand how the spinning of the bearing would affect the responsiveness. The slack string catches on the o-rings, and they stick out like a yo-yo geek in a football arena. I shaved down the backs of the o-rings for the third time, and now it’s getting unresponsive. I loaned it out while I fix someone’s yo-yo, but I’m pretty excited to get it back and give it another throw. Mostly I play with my BvM and 888 now, but I’m glad I got to try a double o-ring before going silicone response. I’m sold on flowable silicone btw. Tight binds. ---
