It plays light and easy, the large diameter paired with the lightweight design gives it the perfect balance of power and agility. With big round rims, schmoove grooves, and pleasant resonating pinging sounds in play, the Contact is a standout design that will not disappoint! ![Contact-Extra_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/6/7/06726825de30d1a3bfffd7e5637439f383f57175.jpeg) The Contact comes assembled with a 10mm axle and wide C bearing for unresponsive play, but also includes an 8mm axle and slim bearing for you modern responsive fans. ## Releasing Saturday 2/27 @ 8PM EST. > **[YoYoExpert - Yo-Yo Store - Buy & Shop Modern Yo-Yos!](https://yoyoexpert.com/)** > > At YoYoExpert we deliver the best yoyo shopping experience and an amazing selection you can't find anywhere else.

Their winged mechanical shapes inspired the flared out profile and multi-stepped inner cup, giving the Exia a really striking aesthetic. It plays fast and smooth with a pleasantly light feel on the string that will keep you throwing through your longest practice sessions. ## Releasing Saturday 2/27 @ 8PM EST. > **[YoYoExpert - Yo-Yo Store - Buy & Shop Modern Yo-Yos!](https://yoyoexpert.com/)** > > At YoYoExpert we deliver the best yoyo shopping experience and an amazing selection you can't find anywhere else.
