hi i recently got back into yoyoing from when i was 10. i bought a yomega power brain xp, iv been messing with it for a couple days and feel like its time to upgrade, the only available models at the local retailer are the two in the title. i feel like i should go with the maverick after alot of research but i am wondering on everyones opinions, i do not want to buy a yoyo online as it will cost alot more due to shipping and american currency, i am only gunna buy a legit yoyo and/or specific yoyo when i learn more string tricks, i am just wondering if the maverick is a good choice? i welcome suggestions for my 3rd yoyo but im really only choosing between the two in the title as its whats available to me thanks in advance ---

The Yomega Maverick is a fine choice 🙂 But I suggest you should check out the Magic Yoyos on eBay, they are extremely cheap but high quality and performance yoyos and the shipping isn’t all that expensive as well. ---

I agree with yoyospirit, the maverick is the best out of the two but there are much better choices for less than $20 online ---

Maverick is a great choice, mine was my first metal yoyo and I dont regret it. I am going to have to respectfully disagree with yoyospirit on this one, a magic yoyo is a subpar choice. The maverick is set up just like a pro yoyo is, it has the same finish, the same features, and a high quality bearing. The magic yoyos, while cheap, have poor quality control, a weird finish, and vary in quality significantly from model to model. Also, do you know how to bind? If you don’t, then a Maverick or magic yoyo will be a frustrating choice. Right here on yoyoexpert, their are a range of nice starter yoyos, such as the yoyofactory Dv888, Hubstack, and recess first base. All are superior to almost any magic yoyo.

> [@Throwto100](#): > > …do you know how to bind? If you don’t, then a Maverick or magic yoyo will be a frustrating choice. As with most yoyos the maverick can be made to play responsive by lubing the bearing. So knowing how to bind is not a requirement to using one.
