Has anyone played the General-Yo Atonement? I dont see a lot of info about it but it looks pretty neat. Ive never owned a General-Yo but they seem to have some good designs. I have the Atonement and the MiniStar 2 on my radar right now. Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated! ---

Haven’t tried atonement but the ministar 2 is fantastic and easily the best mini I have played. It plays like it’s full sized. ---

The Atonement is really good, it has a nice amount of spin time/power but feels pretty nimble on the string. The Ministar 2 feels a bit more of a niche option for obvious reasons. I think that it’s a great successor to the OG one. If you’re someone that wants a pocket throw, but is off-put by the lower performance of mini yoyos, this is for you. Like Seth said above, I’ve tried a lot of mini yoyos, and it’s by far, easily, the best performing one. If you like heavier feeling throws, the Hatrick 2 is probably my favorite design from them since General Yo’s return.
