Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

The Yomega Gamma Brain Wing is the close cousin to the Yomega Power Brain XP Wing yo-yo.
The Gamma Brain Wing uses an outer plastic transaxle sleeve with an inner ball bearing axle; the Power Brain XP Wing uses a plastic transaxle sleeve exclusively. And, just like the Power Brain XP Wing, the Gamma Brain's auto-return function has an Auto/Off switch, letting you use either the auto-return feature or not. As you progress in your play and no longer need the "brain" or auto-return function, you switch it to Off for traditional yo-yo play. The ball bearing axle lets the yo-yo sleep much longer, even compared to the Power Brain XP Wing and other Yomega yo-yo models that use a plastic transaxle.
As with the original Yomega Brain, the end of the yo-yo string needed to be wrapped around the bearing 2-3 times to ensure the yo-yo returned to you in Auto or Off mode.
The Yomega Gamma Brain Wing had the following three U.S. patents assigned to it: 4,895,547, 6,565,408, and 6,494,761.
Included an instructional yo-yo DVD. This model, in 2011-2012 packaging, is hard to find now. The yo-yo is still being made today (2018) but the side caps and packaging are much different. The Gamma Brain Wing is still the most advanced, high-end Brain yo-yo ever made by Yomega.
Original retail price: $20 US. | |
