(grabs his calipers) Some look like H, some look like W. Straight angle from the response to the rim means W as far as I’m concerned though… I hail from the iYoYo school of H! ---

> [@codinghorror](#): > > Wait… the Aviator is considered a Genesis? 🤯 They’re definitely on the same family tree. The blue one in the 2nd row from top right column is a Luis Enrique Genesis which lead into the Aviator series. I should add the Grind Machine 2 and maybe the original Superstar. as the early ancestor. ---

Genesis and Aviator have always been my favorites! Definitely similar family tree! The ‘first’ Aviator I still think was one of the best designs ever. Which edition is your favorite @Nathan? Also - no Grind Machine 2? I think it was the original Genesis! ---

I need a bi metal Genesis at some point. My JonRob Genesis is still my favorite yo-yo of all time. Edit: I’d also add that the Shutter seems like an iteration of the Genesis design as well. It just reduces the flair of the rims and steepens the drop from rims to catch zone. ---
