Both are great yoyos. The 2015 Genesis is worth every penny of its $45 price tag. I assume you mean the 2012 Genesis when you say original. Some specific changes between the 2012 Genesis and the 2015 Genesis is that the 2015 Genesis is lighter and with a slightly tweaked shape, I should say. The 2015 Genesis still plays pretty solid and maintains the stability of its namesake. I like mine a lot, as a long-time fan of the Genesis.

Does the 2012 version play better?

It stands to reason that the 2015 version would perform better.

What good is the next model if it isn’t improved?

Which plays better is a tough question. I think the 2015 Genesis better meets the needs of the player in 2015.

The 2015 Genesis is definitely better, but they feel similar.
