The Yomega Brain is a yoyo with a Clutch response, which makes it return to the throwers hand automatically when the yo-yo starts to lose spin. This yo-yo is great for beginners as it enforces one to develop a strong, hard throw. Upon release in the 1980's, the Brain quickly became a worldwide bestseller, as the first yo-yo to have a clutch system. The patent has since expired, and other yo-yos with clutches are now produced by companies other than Yomega.
- The clutch transaxle, innovated by Yomega with the Yomega Brain, is a transaxle that can be engaged or disengaged.
- the Yomega Brain is a centrifugal clutch transaxle-- when spinning at a sufficiently high speed, counterweights inside the yo-yo body disengage the axle, automatically allowing the yo-yo to "sleep." Conversely, when the speed slows below the threshold, the yo-yo will return automatically.
- Other clutch transaxles feature a manual switch which can engage or disengage the axle.
