Thread: Coming soon from General-Yo

64.1 GR
41.5 WIDE
50.2 DIA
4.34 GAP
Production model will be bead blasted.
Silicone or new "Hat Pads".
2 different thicknesses and durometer ratings.

Looks pretty solid.

Why do I want one?

pretty sexy, nuff said

This thing is a beast.

OOOHHh, Very nice... I wonder how it feels on the string. If it is anything like the 5-star this thing is going to be a solid winner.

Can't wait
looks like a great yoyo

Nice nickname!

Nice job Ernie! I'm diggin' it, and the fact it is a bit different than what is on the market today.

Explain how it is different, because from here it doesn't look at all different than what is on the market today. Let's see: silicone or pad, undersized, in the range of 60 - 70 grams, and everything else about it pretty much labels a good number of yoyos released in the past couple years.

Why the hostility around here lately?

Convenient how you opted to leave out the width. Not only that, but are you still that much of a n00b that you still believe you can determine exactly how a yoyo plays based on the specs?

If we are being technical, I said a "bit" different, which implies a little. So, even if it was just the width to diameter ratio that was different about it, my description is still valid. But, I have given you more, and implied in my previous paragraph that it also plays differently from what is currently out there. Guess you'll have to try one for yourself.

"...everything else about it pretty much labels a good number of yoyos released in the past couple years."

False. Not only did my post explicitly refer to yoyos on the market TODAY, the "good number of yoyos" that you are referring to weren't made by Ernie.

I don't think he was being hostile...

I think the fact is Durfee that all the bases have been covered over the years - there are only so many new designs you can come up with that still play properly - the fact is, that this traditional shape works really well.

Sure its nothing revolutionary, and personally it doesn't attract me - but from what I've heard about the general yos it'll play like a beast :)

Looks like a large bearing Pyro. Ehh, I'll pass.

The profile reminds me alot of the oxy 4, if you look at them side to side the hatrick is just wider, but the oxy 4 does go flat on the rims, just not as much, the enormous gap helps too.

You've never seen an Oxy4 in real life, have you? That looks nothing like an oxy 4 besides being a yoyo and butterfly shaped.

Having owned both I can say there is no similarity at all besides their shiny and yoyos. :)

Looks sweet, I'll have to try it sometime :)
