The Petri is Hesh Enterprises’ fresh take on a minimalist large-diameter design, built with both personality and purpose. Inspired by classics like the A-RT Poupon and RecRev Reverb, it brings a clean, narrow profile that excels in unresponsive play while also offering an optional responsive setup with a half-spec bearing and shorter axle.
At the heart of the design is the “schmoove groove” as Doc Pop has dubbed it, however Brendan likes to refer to it as the “moat": a deep interior groove that preserves the feel of a classic high wall while keeping string friction low for smooth, controlled movement. The design also features a cup that is wide and flat, created specifically as a canvas for artwork and ultimately inspiring Petri’s name.
This release features a blue and green half-swap, paying tribute to the iconic style of Anti-Yo. Each side displays custom artwork created by Brendan with help from Tyler Bray and Ellery Seither. The blue half shows a burning globe wrapped in a banner reading “HESH ENTERPRISES.” The green half features a fourth-grade portrait of Brendan paired with the Hesh Enterprises motto: “NOT NOW BUT SOON.”
The Petri blends nostalgia, creativity, and thoughtful design into a yo-yo that feels both familiar and completely its own. It is a standout choice for players who appreciate clean lines, expressive details, and a unique play experience.
