Yomega Power Brain XP yoyo - Includes Synchronized Clutch and a Smart Switch which enables Players to Choose Between auto-Return and Manual Styles of Play + Extra 2 Strings (blue)

This yo yo is incredible! As a child, I NEVER knew how to play with one of them. But I always had an interest. I somehow stumbled onto the YoyoTricks.com website, and was impressed with the videos. I didn't realize there's a right and wrong way to throw this toy. They highly recommended the Yomega Brain for absolute beginners like myself. Today, after practicing on/off a couple hours, I have now learned how to make the yo yo sleep, akwardly! Sleeping the yo yo is the foundation of most of your tricks! This is a milestone for a rookie like me; but slowly I'm starting to catch on! I read one Amazon review about the Yomega Brain where a man was 86 years old and was just starting to play with one! There's hope for me then.I must also give a shout out to Harry Baier's book "Yo-Yo World Tricks Book " It peaked my interest as well. It's a delightful book about the subject with cute illustrations. I really think I've found a new hobby! This is unbelievable as I love living in this age of computers and technology, but there is something about the yo yo that keeps it exciting! And technology has revived this toy as it makes it easier to learn how to play with it.

I was having a difficult time finding yo-yo's at local shops but as is the case when i usually turn to amazon.com they had what i needed. The ball bearings in this yo-yo are great for making the toy "sleep" from which you can perform various tricks. This toy in particular has a switch which allows the yo-yo to either retrieve itself automatically or manually. I was also surprised by the durability, a friend asked to try it and on the first attempt smashed it into the floor. I feared it was broken but there was barely as scratch on it. Awesome yo-yo especially for the price!

Very good Yoyo, but best for beginners. The auto return function is amazing! Given what it does I would expect it to cost more! However once you start getting good at Yoyo, if you continue to advance, you're going to want a Yoyo that YOU are in control of, NOT an auto return one. This Yoyo actually fixes all that. It has a switch that allows you to turn the auto return off. I tested it, and I'll be darned the thing works! Unbelievable! So here's the lowdown; this is a very good beginners Yoyo. It has a good hand feel. It's just heavy enough, sleeps well, and seems to be durable. The switchable Auto-Return function is perfect for younger kids just learning Yoyo. If you get hooked, this will not be your only Yoyo.Well, I had my first 'incident' with this Yoyo. I gave it a throw into a long sleep and it made a crunching noise. Rather than examine the yoyo when it returned, I threw it again. It spun, unscrrewed itself, and one half of the yoyo went off across the floor. I found the pieces, and it looked like one was missing, but that was not the case. I put it back together, and it still works just fine. Still agood yoyo, and an example of what happens when engineering meets fun. Take care when it makes a weird sound! Don't blame the yoyo if it's telling you somethings wrong!

Bought this for my 4 year old who wanted a yoyo for Christmas. It seems to be very good quality and looks great. With a little adjustment in the length of the string, he was able to begin learning. It's relatively easy to wind and seems to be very well balanced. He's probably a ways away from sleeping the yoyo, but when he does, the auto return function will be very helpful. If he ever wants to turn the auto return off, it's as simple as flipping a switch on the side of the yoyo. I think this was the best possible purchase for a yoyo that is easy to operate and can grow with the user as their abilities change.

It wore out sorta quickly. But it started off pretty solid. I looked on YouTube and it need maintenance apparently

Unbelievable. At age 84 I am playing yoyo for the first time in my life. So easy, almost like cheating, but it sure was satisfying to be in control of that little yoyo going up and down.And it worked first time, just out of the box.I ordered the red one but got the green one, they say it could be any color, but that was no problem. I didn't buy it for the color but for ease of learning to play yoyo. And I most certainly got my money's worth.

I got this as a much better alternative to a fidget spinner, because you can actually do tricks with a yoyo. Great for learning the absolute basics of getting a yoyo to come up and go down, but that's about it. The Auto feature is amazing, it's not like a yoyo ball in that it doesn't automatically come up, you still have to use your wrist to "flick" it up, which is awesome, because that's how you learn. After about a day, you can switch it to manual, and you'll notice that you can do it on your own! But that's where the good stuff ends. It only sleeps for on average 4 full seconds, and I know it's not just because I'm brand new, other people have made the same exact comment about this yoyo. So after you learn how to make it go up and down, you are pretty much stuck buying another yoyo if you want to continue and start learning tricks. I gave it 3 stars because it either came in damaged, having scuff marks in the plastic, or it happened from falling on my carpet floor while learning. Either way is pathetic for a 15 dollar yoyo.

Very good beginner yoyo but doesn't sleep long (10-15 seconds) with hard throw. I recommend removing the auto return o-ring after you get use to the yoyo because it makes it a lot easier because when I have mine in off position the switch goes to auto with hard throws and trick. Very good I recommend for beginners.

As someone who is awful at balance and sports in general, I find the YOYO incredibly enjoyable, even when I'm terrible at it. This YOYO is perfect for people like me, because you have more control over what type of response the string gives you. My friends always ask me if they can play with it, and these friends are aged 24-63 haha - good times for all ages I guess!

Al principio el funcionamiento fue el adecuado, despues de tres semanas de uso se desprendio una de las partes (mitad).

Completely not worth for money. The clutch system can’t even last long for 1 month of usage.

Son very happy with yoyo! Works very well; smooth motion. Additional string, etc., very useful.

what youd expect, brilliant
