I was really positive that I knew exactly what I was going to say about the Majesty 7075 series yoyo.
It was already formed in my mind, to the letter.
Then I sat down behind the keyboard and just stared at the monitor.
I instantly realized that it wouldn’t be that easy at all. When there is nothing negative to say, nothing but ‘positive’ has the tendency to sound too much like an advertisement.
There are soo many yoyos available Worldwide, now. Many good yoyos. Some Great yoyos. Mostly All… fun yoyos. Yoyos made in many different places around the Planet: Russia, South America, Canada, China, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland and the list goes on.
This isn’t a Flag waving post about how Ernies’ General yoze are made right here in the United States. Final Quality of Product, as time goes by, seems to indicate that most yoyo building locations can produce Quality yoyos.
My general practice is to Buy ‘USA’ whenever possible, but I don’t have any serious problem buying yoyos from many places.
After 15 years around yoing, I still Love yoing and Still love yoyos. No sign of fading out any time soon. They are fun and they make me smile and I have many yoyo friends.
Every once in a while, a Special occasion just makes me that much happier. Sometimes the stars just align and everything is Right about something.
Like around now. 1. Ernie is a good friend of mine. 2. Ernie and I are both DXL. 3. Ernie and I are ‘modders of things’. 4. Ernie and I are both Custom Harley enthusiasts. 5. Ernie is a Perfectionist(ok, well I try to think I am; haha). 6. And I Love Ernies’ yoyos, that is not news. 7. And General Yoze are designed and produced from start to finish right here in the USA. 8. General Yo just produced the Majesty 7075 series yoyo and proved to me that he has not only always made excellent yoyos, but has successfully used every play in his trickbook to make an even better playing yoyo with every release.
The Majesty is a Stunning Example from a Master Craftsman.
I used to teach people how to paint cars. On the very first day, I would tell everybody,’ Anything short of doing something right, is doing it wrong’. The Devil is in the details. It is not what you only do right that will help you, but it’s about avoiding doing things wrong that will hurt you. Form a plan based on fundamentals. Gather positive imput. Inject Creativity. Move forward. Execute and refine. And take Pride in the Product of your Efforts. Never settle at a certain level of refinement. Always strive to get things to come out even better.
Ernie never heard any of my lectures. As I follow his Yoyo making adventures; I feel I am in a Class listening to a lecture from him.
The Majesty yoyo. Spin Dynamics second to none. Outstanding weight distribution. Stable is a weak understatement. The shape and feel in the hand is Flawless. The finish surface for grinding is Outstanding. There is zero clunk when the yoyo hits the bottom of the string. You can just feel a soft hit and POWER.
Throwing the Majesty does not make me like my other yoyos less. It just makes me recognize how much I appreciate everything that Ernie put into this yoyo making effort. It is a Top Shelf Yoyo.
Is it a perfect yoyo? Is it ‘the’ perfect yoyo by General yo? I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest that. Primarily because Ernie is far from done.
But as happy as I am for his latest creation, I am at the same time, somewhat concerned. Because he has got a rough road ahead, to try and outdo this Majesty yoyo.
As I have already stated earlier, there are many really nice yoyos available today. And if I suggested a list of my favorite dozen, you could choose any one of them and be a Happy Camper.
This Majesty yoyo would be one of the dozen I could/would suggest and if you get one you will experience yoyo performance second to none.
Get one if you can.
