First Look – General Yo Prophecy
Ernie from General Yo just shared this first look at the prototype of the next General Yo release, the Prophecy! Ernie will have the prototype with him at the upcoming California State YoYo Championships if you’d like to try it out before the retail release.
For the longest time I have wanted to design a yoyo that lends itself to finger spins without having all the center weight. As the styles and tricks change, it forces the evolution of yoyos into areas that push the envelope of design and function. To be honest, I wasn’t thinking of yoyos when the idea just hit me. I would like to think it is a predestined shape that was meant to be…I introduce the “Prophecy”.
