 Maverick verses Zombie Aug 11, 2010
By trudog
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R17UAC443UXNTM Trudog compares the Maverick and the Zombi Aluminium yoyo's. I think you'll find it helpful.

 really good Feb 10, 2010
By C. Slone
i love this yoyo. it is all metal so it breaks strings alot because of its weight, so get more strings. i got a black one, in case the pictures confuse some of you. sleeps really good, the bearing started to click after a month so i bought more bearings. very easy for string tricks. metal isnt really for begginers but i was fine with it. seems small for offstring tricks but ive never tried it.
great yoyo.

Best Budget Yoyo for all levels. Sep 05, 2011
By Noah
I had previously been given this yo-yo from a relative and I fell in love with it! I have since bought a Dv888 and although I will not argue that the 888 is a better yoyo I will say I find myself using the Maverick nearly twice as much. I have personally purchased this yo-yo for my friend who wants to get into yo-yoing and is working on a free medical aid ship off the coast of Africa for 10 months. These are the reasons for my choice:
Pro's:
1. The Maverick is a great starter yo-yo, it will return to you're hand for the first 200ish ours of play with no problems. This means it won't frustrate the beginner as many non-responsive yo-yo's will do.
2. The Maverick is fully capable of the more advanced non-responsive string tricks after the 200 hour mark (this is because the rubber bumpers wear away making it need a bind return).
3. The Maverick is cheap compared to all other metal yo-yo's, 20$ is nothing in the world of unresponsive yo-yo's.
4. The Maverick is durable! I use the Maverick more than my Dv888 for one reason: Durability. The Maverick can take a hit, bounce off concrete, cement, hit railings, and keep going. (Mine currently has metal showing on the outside of both halves, still play's great.) I do believe the dv888 would do the same but I refuse to beat up my 45$ yoyo.
5. Finally, the Maverick grows with you! When the yoyo is fresh out of the box it will respond to a small jerk of the finger, great for frustrated beginners. As you continue to play the bumpers will wear out making the yoyo less responsive to every tug. After awhile it will not come up all together, this is perfect for the intermediate/ advanced player because an entire world of string tricks are available only to yo-yo'rs that have fully unresponsive yoyo's.
Con's:
1. The Maverick as an awkward bearing size, this means that replacement bearings, although generally unnecessary, are a pain to purchase. (I have roughly ~1500hrs on my bearing, no problems)
2. The bearing does not stay on one half of the yo-yo when disassembled, this means if you get a knot in you're string and you open you're yo-yo you may lose the bearing. (I once had to climb under a muddy deck to retrieve mine)
3. You will not have the stability that other much more expensive yo-yo's will have nor will you have the sleep time. This is sometimes a problem when learning a long trick because it leaves little room for error. That being said sleep time is generally determined by user skill. In the beginning I could get 30seconds from my Maverick, now I'm pushing 2 min. It will come in time.
4. Finally the Maverick, after allot of play, has a tendency to come apart during play. This is normally not a problem because the Maverick makes a very distinct sound before separation. On average my yoyo tries to separate every 8ish hours of play.
5. It is a metal yo-yo and thus it is hard. Obviously. It is also heavier than the general plastic yoyo, this can sometimes lead to hurt hands. This will only be a problem for the first week. Hands will toughen up and the way you catch the yoyo will become more refined.
Overall the Maverick is THE BEST choice for any kid, teen or adult looking for an awesome yoyo on a budget. It's versatile, strong, basically bullet proof, and will grow with the yo-yo'ers skill.

Surprisingly worth it. Apr 10, 2010
By S. Rafanelli
Yo-yo madness has hit our elementary school. Although I was reluctant to spend so much on a yo-yo (seriously!?!), I ordered one for each of my two sons. The hours of fun (and sleeping, bow-ties, mouse, binding and other tricks) we have had merit the cost. They withstand a lot of abuse and spin like crazy. Our house highly recommends the Yomega Maverick!

A Great YoYo Jun 19, 2010
By Visa
"tw"
I bought this yoyo and i like it alot. It sleeps for awile and handles a variety of tricks very well. It can be a little unresponsive at times but thats because i've never lubed it. I use it all the time and i have never had anything break on it or anything problems. It's great for a beginner or an advanced user. The video that comes with it is great it cover tricks from beginner to advanced. It shipped to my house in less days than it estimated which was cool. I hope this helps you out. I would reccomend this yoyo to anyone.
