Who else started throwing with the Yomega Fireball and X-brain? These are what I believe were my very first yoyos back in the 90’s. ---

I started on a classic Duncan imperial which was my first. However after a couple months maybe my second yo-yo was a fireball. It blew my mind at the time with the jump in performance. I credit the Fireball for actually pushing me into this hobby really. ---

I also started on an Imperial (Midnight Special), although technically I traded my original Brain for it in middle school. But Fireballs at the Y camp where I worked were the go-to model (along w Black Mambas, da Bombs, and the rare & revered THP Raider, which I actually got as a gift from a kid at the end of that summer). All the kids had either red or blue Fireballs. I ended up getting a purple and was so stoked on it. I’ve still got it. > **[yo-yo #5: the purple rebellion-quashing fireball](http://kinopah.blogspot.com/2008/12/yo-yo-5-purple-rebellion-quashing.html)** > > goddamn, some people. ah... the boom. i remember it fondly. especially since i was not personally invested in yo-yoing at all, and just one ... ---

My first yoyo was the capless version of the Fireball, a Power Spin. My second yoyo was this red Fireball: ![20210708_142653](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/b/7/1b772e5e1cffce00804ade42355e5f513e8b59d2.jpeg) The Power Spin broke one day and young me just threw it away. ---

I started with an inexpensive Duncan back in the 50s. My older brother won a Diamond Tournament at a competition in a public park. I was so jealous! ---

The Yomega Brain (Not the x-brain but classic) is what sparked my interest in yoyoing to begin with, but my first throw was an Imperial. Eventually got the Brain for my birthday and then I saw a classmate with a Fireball…I wanted one so bad, found out where they bought it only to find out that the toy store was sold out for a few weeks. Finally got one and that thing got a lot of mileage out of it. ---

I heard people talking about them a lot on the yoyo podcast from last year, but I didn’t know I had one until I was cleaning my office today. Found a barely used clear one. I tried it a bit, but it needs some tuning. Response is unpredictable. ---
