The Prestige is excellent for sure. Such a smooth play feel. ---

Legato was built off Prestige profile so either way Prestige gets a vote brother… Lol ---

I haven’t tried everything, including the Legato, but I’d have to say the Prestige or the Prophecy. I thought the Prophecy felt like a refined Prestige, but from refinement you lose a little bit of the original magic. ---

I really loved the old hat trick. The essence feels really well too. Performance wise probably legato. I haven’t tried them all either tho. The majesty I tried played really well too. ---

I feel like there are two questions: 1. Best playing? 2. Most General-Yo playing? I personally agree with the Prestige as the best playing but can’t deny how amazing the Legato is. From a design perspective the Legato should be better, but I’m a sucker for Ernie’s monometals ;D As for the most characteristic of a General-Yo, I’d have to go with the Hatrick. Think back to the early days of Gen-Yo, small yoyos, a nice blast, dead smooth… the Hatrick is all of those things and is super nice to look at. General-Yo FTW! ---

I’ve owned a few General-Yos, but he Hat Trick is the only one I’ve held on to. Still throw it pretty regularly, one of my favorites! ---

Nothing beats the Five Star. Except the Magnum. It’s hard to tell but I carry the Magnum more than the Five Star for sure.
