Hyper Raider


Hyper Yo-Yo – Hyper Raider

*THIS IS AN OLD-SCHOOL MODEL

-This yo-yo is a special collector’s model, and is not meant for beginners. Even though this model was originally labeled as entry-level, we no longer recommend it for beginners.

-Compared to modern competition models, this yo-yo is very difficult to use and is not recommended for contest performance.

-To use this yo-yo regularly, special knowledge and maintenance is required.
The one thing every looping player has in common is that they all have a Raider in their collection. The Yomega Raider is the king of looping!

In the Hyper Yo-Yo Boom of 1997~1999, this yo-yo was sold under the name “Hyper Raider.” It’s still available as the Yomega Raider, and aside from the cap design, is unchanged from the popular Hyper Raider. The standard shape, Yomega size ball bearing and starburst response system make a combination that is already proven in the yo-yo world.

For maintenance, looping oil (sold separately, see right panel) is a necessity. Also, this yo-yo eats through string, so be sure to have some fresh string on hand. More advanced players will be interested in the nylon spacer, which they can sand down to personalize their Raider’s settings. Even unmodified, this yo-yo has plenty of potential that will make it a favorite for beginners all the way to professionals.

the Hyper Yo-Yo Stealth Raideris the predecessor to The Saber Raider , made popular back during the 1997 Hyper Yo-Yo Boom. In the world of nylon bearings, this yo-yo showed the world the true power of ball bearings, and ushered in a new era of yo-yo development. It’s not very well-suited for looping tricks, but is rather targeted for string play, making a great model for building a 1A foundation. The Stealth Raider uses a starburst response system, not often seen these days. For maintenance, application of a little thick oil will keep your yo-yo responsive (see right panel). As the new developments have pushed the surrounding yo-yos beyond the Stealth Raider’s abilities, but considering it’s still around, there’s s
