# Mini Star 2: The idea behind the Mini Star 2 was to create a pocket sized throw that behaves and performs like any top level yo-yo on the market. This is a yo-yo that you can put through your best 3 minute freestyle and a yo-yo that will fit in your pocket with ease. ![MiniStar2-DarkBlueRed-1_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/4/5/b4564f8fdad04768266260c55720df4b9208fe13.webp) ![MiniStar2-DarkBlueRed-2_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/5/9/159b1c2e4ee79c02834fd394aba890a38b02d527.webp) General Yo went with a bi-metal design to keep the weight low while providing maximum stability and spin time in the new Mini Star. The Mini Star 2 doesn’t have that ‘rock on a string’ feel that some compact throws get, and when you give it a throw you would never guess it was so light weight. It has the performance of a much larger yo-yo with a fast maneuverable feel in play and a pleasantly solid and stable presence on the string! ![MiniStar2-Extra](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/d/d/fddf990d209171b21f5db270be4e889e306683a2.jpeg) > **[Mini Star 2](https://yoyoexpert.com/products/mini-star-2-yoyo-by-generalyo)** > > The General Yo Mini Star is one of our all time favorite pocket throws, and the couldn't be more stoked for this updated version!

Is it just me or would a half swap of the first two colors give a watermelon vibe? And yeah, this thing is on par with a full size. It’s also not to small to feel strange, it’s the perfect mini shape in my opinion. ---

Based on the stock number people are sleeping on this one, normally i wouldnt mind but with this throw it keeps tempting me to just toss another one in the cart
