What if you did something like with a somewhat of a shape of a prestige with low walls that has like rounded edges so it’s smoother to the feel and has spikes in the middle so it’s easier to do thumb grinds and finger spins because I find a spike makes it easier to do finger spins for some odd reason. I am kind of thinking of a design of a prestige and The old torrent with its rounded edges mashed together somewhat to make a very unique Yoyo because most low walled yoyos in general don’t have spikes or anything. I think it could be interesting if it were made.

You know that he is on the general yo team and probably helped Ernie design it :wink:

I’m super stoked about there being a prototype in the works! Gives me something to look forward to!

Hey Ernie. have you ever had plans for a newer Mini Star? Like, maybe one that is still small but not as small? I just wanna see more Bulby shappes that y’all used to. Kinda hoping the proto is like that. xD Either way, stoked to see it. Hopefully soon? xP

Ernie had problems selling organic throws, he got worried when the majesty sat on shelves. Anyway the new one is not organic, 😕.
