It depends what tricks you are looking to do. They are both intermediate yo-yos that work well for string tricks. If you're looking to perform more looping tricks my suggestion is the Raider EX.
@VelocityTutorials you want to make sure you get a good amount of vaseline on the steel axle and then put the plastic spool back on it. With continuous use, you may have to keep up with maintenance.
@KatieRoseH You want to make sure you have it strung properly and you also need to have a good straight throw. Make sure your throw is good - a yoyo that turns or spins sideways is often from a bad throw.
@AngelD2K - The Power Spin will need a good strong throw to get a good long sleeper. Be patient and practice your technique. When you get the hang of it and your skills grow you may then want to move up to a ball bearing yoyo like the Raider or Maverick - they will give you longer sleep times.
@VelocityTutorials the way to fix that is to practice, practice, practice. Also, making sure your string is attached to your middle / index finger will help. For more info on getting a good straight throw, watch the sleeper or intro videos.
@HAFhotandfluffy - if your XP won't return well in the OFF position then you will need to put some lubricant on the axle. You can try mineral oil or a small amount of vaseline on this model.
Hi Yoer - if a Yomega yoyo is not returning to your hand, then the problem is most likely the need to put some lubricant on the axle. If you have a Brain model, that lubricant should be Brain Lube, Mineral oil or baby oil. If you have a Fireball or Power Spin, that lube should be vaseline / petroleum jelly.
@VelocityTutorials Practice, practice, practice. Make sure you attached the string to your middle finger between the first and second knuckle - toward the end of your finger. Then make sure you throw the yoyo down straight......you'll get it.
@chili967 To lube the bearing, use baby oil or mineral oil - both wil work to make the yoyo more reponsive. Just make sure you don't get any lube on the string. For more help, contact info@yomega.com
One question. I recently found my Raider (Red one, epical win) outside in my dad's car. it had been there for a long time and it had been a COLD winter. Now my Raider doesn't come apart so easily, forcing me to use a little bit of force to undo it. Is there something I can do about that?
Vaseline should ONLY be used on transaxle yoyos like the Fireball. For Brain and Ball Bearing yoyos use either Yomega lube or baby / mineral oil. For Dash, to make it more responsive use some mineral oil on the axle and side of the bearing.
No, there is only one type of Fireball yo-yo. There are a few different pad prints and colors available in the Fireball ranging in black cap and semi solid models. All the Fireballs have the same internal components. Also, the Power Spin Glow Wing has the same internals as the Fireball but has a wing shape.
@yomegacorp I just got my new Raider but its unresponsive...Should I follow the same procedure even with the Raider? And the slip knot tightens everytime I sleep the yoyo causing my finger to get squeezed and eventually cutting it! Please help!
well before this video mine wouldn't respond at all but now it works oh and is WD-40 good for lubing it cause i didn't have eaither the lube pen or vasilean
if it won't sleep you need to make sure its strung properly and that the string is not pinched or knotted inside. If you continue to have trouble email yomega for assistance
The yo-yo shown in this video is the Fireball and has the same internal parts as the original Fireball. The only difference is the pad print (logo) imprinted on it. The pad print featured on this yo-yo is sold overseas.
@ZATalmas You want to tighten the yoyo snuggly. When you tighten it up, make sure the string is not wound inside - this keeps it from getting tight. For more help, please email info@yomega.com
would u use lube for the fire ball if it stops sleeping because thats what happended to mine i put vaseline on it and it still doesnt work can u help me out?
Um, i bought the exact same fireball yoyo you have (the red one) off of my friend and it doesnt sleep. what should i do? my friend said its too responsive or something like that.
sometimes when i throw the yo yo into a sleeper i have trouble with it because it wants to start spinning sideways and not come back up to me and i don't know how to fix it.
@WWEWebkinz101 Vaseline is only needed when a Fireball is not returning. If the yoyo is not sleeping, check to make sure your string in on correctly and that it is not knotted. If you still have troubles, contact tech support at info@yomega.com
Hi again. I got a wing shaped yo yo and whenever i do a sleeper and pull it back up, its always twisted. like the string is totally wound together.I have to let it spin for about 1 minute to get it back to normal and even at that it is still twisted. AHHHH Help!
Try applying some Brain Lube to teh bearing this may help with the ease of untightening it. If you're still having trouble feel free to contact us at info@yomega.
OOCH PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON THE POWER BRAIN XP I HAVE ONE AND IT WONT COME BACK WHEN I TURN THE SMART SWITCH OFF IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I COULD FIX IT PLZZZ MAKE A VID IM DYING TO YOYO AND ALL I GOT IS A CHeAP OLD WALMART DUNCAN MOSQUITO YOYO P.S. icant even loop right with the wing shape (DUNCAN MOSQUITO) P.P.S. i like YOMEGA better
@Alan12345680 hi alan, try putting the baby oil on the steel axle. Remove the plastic spool and place it on the steel. If that does not work, make sure it is strung properly. For more help email at info@yomega.com
I did this to my fireball it is so smooth and sensitive. When it sleeps it doesn't make a whirling noise either. Thank u soooooo much.
Your legend!
You are very talented at this!
Dude! you have a vasoline injector!
This gets me pumped!
For a Fireball I would recommend you use petroleum jelly - vaseline. It will solve your return problem.
It depends what tricks you are looking to do. They are both intermediate yo-yos that work well for string tricks. If you're looking to perform more looping tricks my suggestion is the Raider EX.
If your purchasing your first ball bearing yo-yo the Raider is a good choice. The Fireball has a transaxle system in it.
@VelocityTutorials you want to make sure you get a good amount of vaseline on the steel axle and then put the plastic spool back on it. With continuous use, you may have to keep up with maintenance.
You do not want to use spray oils as they will damage the plastic. Use only vaseline or mineral / baby oil. Vasline is recommend for the Fireball.
@KatieRoseH You want to make sure you have it strung properly and you also need to have a good straight throw. Make sure your throw is good - a yoyo that turns or spins sideways is often from a bad throw.

You're welcome!
@Freak1857 vaseline can be used on the XP Wing. For the Brain its best to use a mineral or baby oil.
Hi Yoer - if a Yomega yoyo is not returning to your hand, then the problem is most likely the need to put some lubricant on the axle. If you have a Brain model, that lubricant should be Brain Lube, Mineral oil or baby oil. If you have a Fireball or Power Spin, that lube should be vaseline / petroleum jelly.

@Jojobreack324 you should try vaseline on the steel axle as shown in this video. you all need to make sure the yoyo is strung properly.
i got my fireball yesterday and the lube wore of from doing sleepers for 5 hours straight and i tried this and it worked fine.
it worked tytytyty iw as fixing to retrun my dad tryed to fix it but i just typed in "the fireball yoyo" and this came up!!!
The power brain xp is like the love child between e brain yoyo and the fireball. :3
@bodhi46 yes, it would also work on the PSGWing.
@Jojobreack324. Vaseline can be purchased at any pharmacy store or stores like Wamart, Target, CVS or any store like them.
@NickDaStudxD - vaseline should only be used on transaxle yoyos like the Fireball, Power Spin Glow wing or Power Brain XP models.
The lubricant needs to be applied to the steel axle. For best results, use vaseline or petroleum jelly -
@chili967 To lube the bearing, use baby oil or mineral oil - both wil work to make the yoyo more reponsive. Just make sure you don't get any lube on the string. For more help, contact info@yomega.com
@Alan12345680 no problem, just clean it off and try again. Lube the axle not the spool :)
@pokespriters959 For a Raider or other bearing yoyo, you want to use baby, mineral or Yomega lube - don't use Vaseline on a ball bearing yoyo. :)
Yes, if you find your Fireball not coming back to your hand it is time for some lube. Ooch recommend a little vaseline / petroleum jelly on the axle.
@medsoluk practice, practice, practice - it will come to you and wiht a proper throw you won't have any tangles. The Yomega Mania DVD can help.

wow thanx! i tried it and it actually worked! if it'll happen again, could i do it again or
it will spoil my yoyo?
@yomegacorp I just got my new Raider but its unresponsive...Should I follow the same procedure even with the Raider? And the slip knot tightens everytime I sleep the yoyo causing my finger to get squeezed and eventually cutting it! Please help!
The Fireball is a great beginner to intermediate yo-yo.

helo ooch. it also works with the Power Spin Glow Wing? answer as soon as you can please.thankyou.
@yomegacorp please tell me what is the benefit of transaxle in fireball???
if it won't sleep you need to make sure its strung properly and that the string is not pinched or knotted inside. If you continue to have trouble email yomega for assistance

@Alan12345680. yomega lube can be purchased at yomega's website or you can use baby oil as a substitute.

Um, i bought the exact same fireball yoyo you have (the red one) off of my friend and it doesnt sleep. what should i do? my friend said its too responsive or something like that.
I'm a yo yo noob but maybe it's looped too many times
I know this video is really old but when I put Vaseline on it, it only last a day
sometimes when i throw the yo yo into a sleeper i have trouble with it because it wants to start spinning sideways and not come back up to me and i don't know how to fix it.
Should i get a dash or maverick as my first bearing yoyo I have fireball
joseph ortiz I'm like super late but whoever else comes by and sees it, get a maverick.
does that work for a yomega brain aswell.
Can this work with the Brain or Power Brain XP Wing
I do this to my fireball and it works fine for a while but the it goes again. Please help!
hi my fireball when i do a sleeper it automatically comes up and i dont tug or anything how can i stop it
@swiftcole Oh no, you don't want to use WD-40 it will dissolve the plastic. Use mineral, baby oil or vaseline. Or email info@yomega.com for more help.
Ops I use a spray oil !!! Is that very importent "use no spray oil"
What have I to do ?
whats that glue gun lube thing?

my fireball yomega yoyo keeps falling apart after 10 minutes of use.. what do i do?
@chili967 for technical support please write to info@yomega.com - sounds like you just need to replace the string.
Why are Yomega Yo-Yos so much easier too use than Dollarama ones?
@Alan12345680 yomega lube can be purchased at yomega.com - vaseline can be bought at any pharmacy.
Is brain lube thick or thin lube or neither
@vietfrank you can buy the lube pen and yoyo string at yomega.com and order online to buy it and itll ship to you.
and the problem is that if i screw the yoyo the way its supposed to go it doesnt sleep
so u can use vaseline on any yo-yo other than the fireball?
Where can I buy vaseline ?
I think u should get a raider
Try applying some Brain Lube to teh bearing this may help with the ease of untightening it. If you're still having trouble feel free to contact us at info@yomega.
isnt there two types of fireballs
In place of Brain Lube, mineral oil or baby oil will work.

@Alan12345680 hi alan, try putting the baby oil on the steel axle. Remove the plastic spool and place it on the steel. If that does not work, make sure it is strung properly. For more help email at info@yomega.com
