Man I wish small companies were still releasing unique throws like this. Anyways just an appreciation post for some of my favorite throws in my collection. Two OG Hatricks … one is a prototype I got from Ernie I believe. Been a while.

Those are really nice and I agree I feel like from what little time I have in the yoyo world so far companies are just releasing same old same old with a new name everything literally looks the same, same designs, same shapes, same anno. Just a different name

It’s a fantastic yoyo, very much ahead of its time. Grinds for days and General yo was a pioneer in precision smoothness. I think they are celebrating 20 years next year.

Really wish they’d bring the OG Hatrick back in those awesome colors. Sucks having missed out

I hear you man. Been in this hobby on and off for about 20 years. To me the original General yo, CLYW era was the best, but a lot of it is just nostalgia. It depends what type of stuff you like! I have a ton of great throws in my collection that when I got them I had no idea they would be sought after one day! In the early days I was just a kid having fun 
now I’m a “collector” I guess.

Hatrick is awesome! I’m partial to the 5 star myself but it’s awesome! I’m a massive general yo and spyy fan

General Yo is not one that I’ve seen dropping design after design, but rather spending long stretches developing the next one. I recently got their KLR which is a great all arounder with fabulous spikes. And it’s still available. Also General Yo just released el Campeòn as well. There are still a few options left of several of their models at YYE right now. I will agree that many of the finishes lack the panache of the older stuff but it has been general topic on the forum for a while about how the anodizers out there haven’t produced the same type of quality for some time now. This is not the yo-yo manufacturers fault as they are limited to the anodizers available.
