Uhh its really preference. i absolutely loved the genesis not so much the severe. The severe plays great. its very floaty which is what you like but i personally like the genesis. they both play smooth as a whole, both spin great, they’re both good. i just prefer the gensis ---

Not to be a buzz kill or anything but this thread goes in the yoyo recomendations in the review section. But i’d go with the genisis but what do I know I’ve not tried the severe. Good luck shopping. 🙂 ---

The severe plays great. its very floaty which is what you like but i personally like the genesis. they both play smooth as a whole, both spin great, they’re both good. i just prefer the gensis so if the severe is floaty, does that make the genesis a faster player then? ---

i wouldnt call the genesis a fast player but it doesnt feel like a rock. it to me is the perfect yoyo. it is smooth, stable, mid-speed, long spin times, awesome colors, different bearing options, cool shape. ---

well, both are full size yoyo, and has angular shape. what really different is the feel. genesis is heavier and more stable IMO. and the severe is floatier and faster. just different feel. ---

It’s up to your preferences, but I have both, but I have a 2010 Severe and I like the 2010 Severe the best. ---
