Originally released in 2010 the Genesis was the signature yoyo for 5A champion Miguel Correa and it was one of the yoyos that dominated the competition market for high end metal. The shape is extremely powerful and stable for really maximizing long string tricks and keeping that spin even through multiple layers. Ten years since its original debut it is time to celebrate the Genesis in a brand new form - TITANIUM!
Everything we loved about the classic Genesis shape and dimensions are here but of course re-designed to take advantage of the quality of titanium. Thin walls to even better maximize stability. The result is a yoyo that spins stable and true for an incredibly long period of time even at low RPM.
Titanium doesnāt always improve on an existing design but it is safe to say that titanium Genesis can really take advantage of what titanium has to offer.
Genesis Ti comes complete with a few YoYoFactory counterweights and a 10 pack of knot bad string.
AND the Genesis Ti Doomsday Edition is exclusive to YoYoExpert! This classic engraving design was from back in 2012 and was a fun throwback to the end of the Mayan calendar. We felt it was a perfect fit for this release!
I just downsized my collection down to 10% of what it was to fund another hobbyā¦ than this happens. Someone needs to give me atleast 27 good reasons to not buy one otherwise see ya 300$
I was playing my OG Genesis earlier today and while i still enjoy it I just canāt do yoyos that narrow anymore. It definitely feels like a design of its time. But you like RSO stuff so that probably doesnāt bother you
Hmmm. I love the Doomsday Genesis specifically. It would be the only aluminum yoyo in my āpick-one-of-each-shapeā desert island yoyo bag. The other three would be Ti. Now this? Im torn. . . Two things i dont like. I dont like the axle hole being open, visually its distracting and feel like a potential weak spot (maybe?) Also, (and I know i can work around this to a point) Im not super huge on raw ti. The Doomsday is visually striking in its blue and green acid job. Raw Ti is just so bland, comparatively (i hope my other Tiās dont hear me talking this way).
Im gonna reeeeealy have to think about this one hard for the next 22 hours. I know I shouldnāt but I kinda want to, but am hesitant and conflicted. I mean i already have a ideal āHā (imho) in my desert island bag. It would make sense to have a stronger version, but would it be worth me thinking the Ti looks less delightful that the 7078 Doomsday? Man im tornā¦
It took my 2 years to hunt an og doomsday. I donāt think I could ever get rid of it. Itās practically perfect and to this day my favorite aluminum yoyo.
A good modder could set up a longer axle and adapt it to accept hub stacks.
PSā¦ I do not have a Ti Genesis. So the axle hole you see may not be a āthrough holeā.
If the thread was tapped from the inside. It may not have passed completely through the half. In which case, the appropriate tap would have to be used from the inside and tapped through in order to facilitate use of a longer axle.
And that Ti tapping would best be performed by someone wearing a cape and allergic to Kryptonite.
And mostly not worth the effort.
.Best advice> Forget everything I posted up in this responseā¦
Iām also really curious how it plays compared to the regular alu Genesis. I have a couple 2016 b-grades and I love the shape/design of it. I canāt help but wonder if/how the Ti version improves on its performance.
My thoughts exactly! I also own two 2015 Genesis B-grades and love them! One has been my EDC yoyo for over a year!I am really curious about this. Someone on the Yoyofactory Facebook group told me that it was fun but felt heavier despite being a similar weight (~65 g) and said it was likely due to the more extreme distribution.
Although I also wonder that since I already think the 2015 Genesis is so great, maybe not mess with a good thing? Maybe I wouldnāt like a more extreme weight placement? Stillā¦ Iāve been pretty obsessed thinking about this one. But I donāt think Iāll be able to afford itā¦ So I would love some feedback from others who did get one.
I donāt have specifics like @yyfben2.deactivated or others might have with regards to who used it or when it was used in specific contest, but I remember back then it was kind of a design people talked about as a performance benchmark.
Yes. All the Ti Genesis come in the case with 4 counterweights, and a knot bad 10 pack.
