From my experience with the jamboo I find it to be poorly built. I see it as more of a collectors item than a yoyo to play with. I threw mine down about 50 times and soon after that when I threw it the yoyo "exploded". Peices of it went EVERWHERE. Axle, caps, nuts, bearing, everything went everywhere. I have tried to put back together MANY times but I am currently in the process of returning it to get my money back. I dont know if I just got the unlucky Jamboo. But I do know that you shouldnt get your hopes up that it will play great or last long  |

well wood is much different than plastic or metal. it bends and flexes. it has a far less tinsel strength than metal or plastic. also its not just regular wood its bamboo so it has a lower tolerance for spinning and all the Gs a yoyo takes. if i where to get a yoyo i wouldn't get a wood one. especially if its a high end yoyo. later and keep it spinning.

My jamboo is just the same as above.
Caps came off in the post so had to glue them(messed it up).
Then the thing fell to bits after a few throws.
Lost the nut after more blow ups!
Over all very poor work and not a yoyo to play with would love a refund!

I'm still trying to picture a yoyo just up and exploding into pieces. Do you mean the nut came off and it fell apart? Or without striking anything the bamboo just shattered? I'm just trying to understand what happened.
Have Fun,
Java

Wood is uneven... it will be unbalanced... also, very poor quality

 My back-up plan? Grab a yoyo, grab a bucket, and head to San Francisco.  |

Please don't necro this post. If you check the date, this was a long time ago. The thread has served its puropse, so there is no reason to post in it.
Thanks,
