Yomega Xodus II
The Yomega Xodus II yoyo is a revolution in spin that caters to the traditional, and the many new "Off String" styles of play. Now with a larger bearing, more durable axle / hub, and thinner spacers. The result is a stronger yo-yo with greater performance and easier modifications! The Xodus II is a must for any serious player.
The Yomega Xodus II is a yoyo designed for offstring yoyoing. That's a style of yoyoing where the yoyo becomes completely detached from the string when you throw it in the air. Then you catch it back onto the string. Sort of like using a Diabolo, but with a yoyo instead. It can also be used for regular yoyoing, of course.
Xodus II is the only off string offering from Yomega. The rubber rim is useful for learners, absorbing the shock of a drop and keeping the yo-yo from getting damaged. The Duncan bearing gives it good spin and a long sleep. For an off string yo-yo, it's a little undersized, making it good for intricate string tricks, and also making it just barely small enough to use as a regular 1A yo-yo. The rubber rim makes the Xodus bounce with vigor, so be sure there aren't and easily-broken things lying around.

Getting Started:
- Adjust string to 3 inches above player's navel. Tie a knot, then cut and tie a new loop
- Create a slip knot by pulling the string through the existing loop
- Place slip knot over second digit of your middle finger of your throwing hand
- Make a muscle while holding your Yomega in your hand. Flick your wrist in a quick, downward motion to send it down the string.
- Lightly tug your finger to make it return to your hand.
- Replace work string often for best performance
- Brain, Fireball and Spectrum require double looping when replacing string. See videos at yomega.com
- Lubricate transaxles and bearings periodically using Brain Lube or mineral oil for best performance
