The Zero-G was Yomega's first attempt at creating an offstring yo-yo, and despite the high anticipation for it, the yo-yo was never officially released. It was also Yomega's first attempt at making a yo-yo that has rubber shells. In a time where many companies are trying to find their way around Playmaxx's Brake Pad patent, others were also trying to bypass Henrys' patent for the removable rubber shells used by yo-yos such as the Viper.
