The Brain (full name: Yo-yo with a Brain) by Yomega is a yo-yo with a centrifugal clutch, which makes it return to the thrower's hand automatically when the yo-yo starts to lose spin. It is also the very first yo-yo to feature an auto-return clutch system. This yo-yo is great for beginners, as it helps the user to develop a strong, hard throw and to get a good grasp on the sleeper. It was even licensed to Bandai for the Hyper Yo-Yo line in 1997 as the Hyper Brain (Japanese: ハイパーブレイン), and on April 13th, 2013 as the Wild Claw (Japanese: ワイルドクロー).

  • The Brain (full name: Yo-yo with a Brain) by Yomega is a yo-yo with a centrifugal clutch, which makes it return to the thrower's hand automatically when the yo-yo starts to lose spin. It is also the very first yo-yo to feature an auto-return clutch system. This yo-yo is great for beginners, as it helps the user to develop a strong, hard throw and to get a good grasp on the sleeper. Upon its original release in 1984, the Brain (which was originally named the "Phantom" in early company literature) had quickly became a worldwide best-seller for Yomega, and has put the company on the map that is the yo-yo industry. The Brain features a distinctive "Convex" or "Standard" body shape that resembles the Modified shape used by the ProYo, but with rounded side caps. This body design was also used by two other flagship models in Yomega's line-up; the Fireball, which was released five years after the Brain, and the ball bearing Raider, which came out in 1991. It was even licensed to Bandai for the Hyper Yo-Yo line in 1997 as the Hyper Brain (Japanese: ハイパーブレイン), and on April 13th, 2013 as the Wild Claw (Japanese: ワイルドクロー). At one point in 2012, the Brain was re-released with redesigned clutch arms. The Brain's patent has since expired. This allows other manufacturers to produce their own auto-return yo-yos, such as the Australian Black Mamba yo-yos by Abbe Toys, and the Duncan Reflex.
