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](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/petri-yoyo-by-hesh-enterprises?variant=45346861711550) 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.” [![Half-Green-Half-Blue-Petri](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/0/f/40f1f9ef703c3165b3b517eb14a2a15d0cbd170a.jpeg)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/petri-yoyo-by-hesh-enterprises?variant=45346861711550) [![Half-Green-Half-Blue-Petri-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/9/1/d91a47d1de85c1a120bb6f7b987f3638575515f2.jpeg)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/petri-yoyo-by-hesh-enterprises?variant=45346861711550) [![Half-Green-Half-Blue-Petri-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/1/ce19afa4a8fdb90c6c3f07040f29731350a4c529.jpeg)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/petri-yoyo-by-hesh-enterprises?variant=45346861711550) The [Petri](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/petri-yoyo-by-hesh-enterprises?variant=45346861711550) blends nostalgia, creativity, and thoughtful design into a yo-yo that feels both familiar and completely its own.

Mine has a B grade look to it too. I don’t mind it. It’s a ton of fun. Really big. Really flat. Reminds me of two flywheels. Not a performer, but it’s more stable than I thought it would be and easily the biggest diameter yoyo I have. ![IMG_5356](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/2/ce203b8ef0b9baf95824cf2fe191973594b9fa5b.jpeg) ---

Were these sold as B grades? I don’t recall.. Anywho, yeah, Biiiig yoyo here. The only other throw I have that comes close is an older Metric from out of hand. It’s big. ![IMG_1317](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/f/1/9f1c2da4795d5df8b686ce4d47e342671ac09569.jpeg) ![IMG_1316](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/7/7275f79a66ad2e0a8e43a88ec3d5b4df4f176024.jpeg) I also had a similar experience in regards to stability. It really surprised me! No matter whatever direction ya throw it, it pops up vertical every time! The size is a factor for me. I actually kinda had to switch up my grip for forward passes. I really like the ano job on it, aside from the nqp stuff. It’s got cool info regarding production on the inside walls, I thought that was a cool touch. Mine came with two 4x4 color pictures of the kid on the throw. I assume that’s young Brendan Mcginnis? Hesh Mascot maybe? Definitely a neat throw. Not an EDC for me, but that’s just my opinion. For sure it’ll be a fun one to throw around! ---

You know, I was wondering if that stability is related to the size of the throw, or if it’s the raised bearing seat. I’m willing the bet the raising of the bearings responsible. It could be I’m just noticing it now and other yo-yos are like that as well, but the couple I’ve split and looked at aren’t. :thinking: just a thought. Also, after throwing it around awhile, my opinions def changed. At first the diameter was too much. It was just too big in my hand. Like I said, I actually had yo adjust my overhand throw. However after constantly picking it up, I’ve grown accustomed to it, then I started the really enjoY it. Someone said it was challenging, and they’re right, but it’s still a whole lot of fun! Great job! 😁😁😁 ---

Hah! I’m good. I wasn’t bothered by it anyways. Said Petri grew on me 😏 much like a fungus. It’s a lot of fun, plus having a pre production run is super cool.

Hey folks! Glad y’all are enjoying the Petri. The “B-grade” spots are on all of the yoyos, because the anodizer (who had never worked with yoyos prior to the Petri) racked them on the cup as opposed to the axle. It was my first yoyo manufacturing experience and I didn’t know that I was supposed to ask for them to be racked that way, will never make that mistake again lol. I have gotten the rest of my Petri stock anodized at the same place that One Drop uses along with all of my Honeypots, so future Petris (except for the next release, black/red half swap, which was also done at the same anodizer as this most recent release) will not have those ano flaws. Sorry about that folks! Yeah, that’s me on those stickers, and on the green side of those Petris. I was in 4th grade, just getting the hang of basic 1a tricks on my yellow Fast 201. I didn’t cut my hair until the day after I graduated high school. I went to a couple yoyo contests before that happened, so some old heads who went to BAC and Cal States back then may remember me still rocking the mullet.
