There are 3 new Genesis. They are all 2mm wider than the 2012 there is one 6061 that’s 69.5g one 6061 that’s 68.5 and a 7075 that’s 67.5. They were all designed for Luis. He’s deciding on which one he likes best and they will be released later this year I think. I’d imagine they’ll keep the 7075 and one 6061 to sell depending on his likings. The Genesis being one of my favorites this excites me. I wouldn’t be suprised if some are for sale during these special releases.

The 7075 is the lightest?..

That’s going to make for some very interesting comparisons.

…and why do you have all this information?! lol

I have my sources…(instagram) But yeah I think they always make the 7075 lightest because they take the center weight out.

The Doomsday Genesis was 7075, was also lighter than the original Genesis, and is still to date one of the best performing throws I have ever come across in terms of spin and stability.

To quote the yoyodoc:

Krown>Sleipnir. The Sleipnir did not seem ‘dated’ until I threw a Doomsday Genesis and a Berserker RX.

He would be a wise man to go with the 7075.

The only reservation I have is with recent YYF throws is build quality. My new Superstar came through a few days ago along with a CLYW Puffin, and the difference in build quality between the two is noticable. The USA made 7075 Genesis and Supernovas were much better built than their chinese counterparts, but as much as it pains me to say it, the new Superstar felt slightly cheap to me. It had slight vibe straight out of the box and compared to my Onedrop Chik, which was roughly the same price, the quality difference is suprising…

I know that as demand and quantities go up, then the quality is inevitably going to go down. Unlike Onedrop, YYF don’t have the advantage of machining everything in-house, and outsourcing is required in order to meet their demand. But still, the lower quality control, the cheap colourways and lazy splashes… I love YYF but they should be focusing on making their current yoyos better, rather than throwing out tonnes of new ones.

Not trying to derail my own thread here, but would you say that the Doomsday Genesis PLAYED lighter, heavier, or about the same as a normal Genesis? I know 7075’s tend to feel more solid, but maybe the slight drop in weight would counteract this phenomenon? I’m just asking so that if I decide to grab one of these Genesis I can make the best choice for myself between versions (I don’t like heavy throws very much).
