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!

Yomega Yo-Mods was a customizable yo-yo system introduced in April, 2012. The system included three different yo-yo models: the Pro Speed (dead response); the BX-2 (less response); and the G-R (responsive; normal yo-yo play). While all three yo-yos played great individually, the parts--such as the spacers, pads, and halves, all color-coded--were completely interchangeable among each model. For example, you could swap the return system pads from the G-R (green) to the Pro Speed (black) to make it more responsive. Put the spacers from the Pro Speed into the BX2 (blue) for a wider gap. This kind of flexibility let you easily customize the play and feel of the yo-yo to your own liking--assuming you bought all three models (or at least two of them) to swap parts. At an original retail price of $20 each, it probably became cost prohibitive for many kids.
The Yomega G-R in the Yo-Mods system was 60 grams total weight making it quite light. It came with an 8 ball size C ball bearing, grippy response pads, narrow spacers, and plastic rim-weighted halves with internal aluminum shells. This model was considered the fastest, lightest, and most responsive yo-yo in the Yo-Mod series. If you enjoyed a traditional, classic yo-yo play, this model was ideal. The unique "exploded parts" packaging view let you easily see the make-up of the yo-yo and what you were dealing with.
Original retail price: $20 US.
