So Ernie from General Yo and Kathie stopped in to my restaurant tonight during their annual trip to Michigan. This is the third trip in to my place for them. We did some yoyoing, talked a bit about yoyos and other things. He also brought me one of his newest creations… The Majesty. It’s 7075 aluminum and from the little time I’ve had to throw it seems to be quite the player. It would appear that Ernie has hit another home run. (lets just hope Sandoval doesn’t hit anymore… :)) I asked him if I could take a pic and post it and he said “sure thing”. So… here ya go: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/d/8/8d8f9f41de71eac0898b4e4fdbceaef9987436e4.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/7/6e7db2632422238763dfe39dd10b9693b74f3832.jpeg) ---

How does it stack up against the KLR? The KLR just didn’t do it for me, but the Majesty looks promising? I have to take a trip down to your restaurant sometime. I live in Northern Michigan (Cadillac, to be exact). ---

Yea, he and Kathie left my place and went directly to the Plymouth YoYo Club. The original plan was I was going to go with them. My restaurant is a sports bar/restaurant though so with the Tigers Series game I thought I should stay at work. I’ll make it out one of these Thursdays though. ---

> [@LinksLegionaire](#): > > How does it stack up against the KLR? The KLR just didn’t do it for me, but the Majesty looks promising? I’ve loved just about everything General Yo has made. After having some time to use it this yo-yo, in my opinion, has raised the bar General Yo had set for itself. “Gen Yo” smooth, very comfortable shape and a nice size. I can’t wait for the full run to be released so I can have one to carry around. (the collector in me prefers not to smack this one on anything :)) Edit - In reading this post I guess I didn’t really answer your question. I think I get what you mean about the KLR.

The majesty IMO is super. I have had a chance to play it for a while now and I must say it goes far and above what I love in a throw. I on the other hand also loved the KLR so its hard for me to say I like one better then the other. I will say that while playing the majesty I have grown to love the comfortable feel of it and its play is just dead on. As for the current specs,I think they are right where they need to be. I’d just leave it at this and say, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of generals throws as I like them all. But the majesty definetly has that something special that will keep you grabbing for it time and time again. Can’t wait to see this thing with some color on it. I truly don’t want to miss out on one that’s for sure. ---

I loved the KLR shape but it seems to lack spin time and overall a bit in playability, stacking up against say, a Code 2. The majesty looks amazing though. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/a-visit-from-general-yo-and-a-proto-pic/44476.md?page=2)
