The YYJ NEW BREED: Introduction: This is a review for the YoYoJam [NEW BREED](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/17/YYJ-New-Breed). This yoyo was designed by the 1A national champion Eric Koloski. It was the first YoYoJam yoyo to feature a celcon plastic body with aluminum weight edges. This makes this yoyo very durable. My first observations of this yoyo were its HUGE gap and large size. I mean it; this thing has a giant gap! This yoyo may look heavy on a piece of paper, but when I gave it a throw, it seemed surprisingly floaty. So if you like relatively light, and big yoyos, you will probably like this very much. This is the biggest yoyo I have for 1a (in diameter); if you like small yoyos this not for you. Specs: Diameter: 2.2” Width: 1.73” Gap type: Fixed Weight: 68g Response: YYJ Silicone O-Ring Bearing: Size C (regular YoYoJam speed bearing) Shape: Wing Good Things About This YoYo: - VERY wide gap, thus easy to land the yoyo on the string. - Great spin time. - Heavy, but feels floaty when you’re using it. - Good at grinds because of the smooth celcon texture. It’s pretty good at thumb grinds too if you take the cap(s) off. - Very durable thanks to the celcon plastic. - Plays very smooth. - One of the larger sized yoyos. - Relatively cheap. It’s a “big bang for your buck.” Bad Things About This YoYo: - Has the classic YoYoJam vibe, but more of a mild case of it… - Not a good pocket yoyo. - Heavy, but feels floaty when you’re using it (I put this fact in both because it depends on preferences). - Not a beginner yoyo (a [bind return](http://yoyoexpert.com/learn/030-intermediate-bind-returns.html) is required to get it back to your hand). - One of the larger sized yoyos (again, I put this in both because it depends on preferences). - I experienced some occasional slippy binds because of the really wide gap. - You have to keep replacing the silicone with either [flowable silicone](http://img2.prosperent.com/images/250x250/www.outdoorpros.com/images/prod/1/Permatex_81730.jpg), or already made YoYoJam [ silicone O-Rings](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/56/YYJ-Silicone).

The NEW BREED is slightly bigger.

The NEW BREED is a little bit taller. NOTE: The Dark Magic is on the tightest gap setting.

Their diameters are; again, pretty much the same.

NOTE: The Legacy is on the tightest gap setting. [http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/153/dsc03177p.jpg](http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/153/dsc03177p.jpg) Diameters: YYJ Axiom on the left, NEW BREED on the right. The NEW BREED’s diameter is much bigger. [http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/8872/dsc03178t.jpg](http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/8872/dsc03178t.jpg) Height: YYJ Axiom on the left, NEW BREED on the right. The NEW BREED is much taller.

[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8459/dsc03188y.jpg](http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8459/dsc03188y.jpg) No Caps: In this picture, I simply am showing you what this yoyo looks like with the caps off. This yoyo’s recess is not very deep. [http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3673/dsc03181v.jpg](http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3673/dsc03181v.jpg) Inside: In this picture, I tried to show you what the inside of this yoyo looked like. Conclusion: Overall, this is great yoyo for string tricks. It’s very big, it sleeps long, it grinds great, has a big gap, and a roundish interior. Its weight feels great, because it is all concentrated in the center. I would highly recommend this yoyo if you are advancing into more “in depth” string trick play. It just “glides” over the string. For a collection, this is a necessity. Well done Yoyojam! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yyj-new-breed-review/22376)._
