Current Pocket/Undersized Throw?

I’ll have to do some research I never knew the backstory on foxland precision. I believe I got it through a yye sale for a great price and just l loved the color and size

Oh yeah “Katz Meow” is so comfortable in hand so organic and not high priced

Think I’ll have to be on the lookout for some foxland precision throws they look really nice definitely would like to try them out

The Midnight Snack is the nicest color IMO. I’m going to try out a B-grade or two. Shame they don’t that shade available.

The masamini has been so fun. It feels pretty heavy which i like. Thought it was small but then we had this line up at the meetup today… lol other then the flea, they all play so dang nice. Could easily just carry a masamini.

For my beterfication
Is the consensus that undersized is
52mm diameter, 42mm width and below, that perfect pocket size in my opinion, I know it depends on the pocket. I figured we are talking jeans front or pants front. Never the less.

M-1 has been mine for a long time, this particular one is a deeply loved beater.

The M-1 is always close, in a back pack, on a shelf within hands reach, in the console of the car and in my hands when ever possible.



Have a great beginning of the week everyone.

Amazing

I can’t stand having a big yoyo in my pocket, so a lot of “undersized” options aren’t “pocket size” to me. This is really my only yoyo that actually goes in my pocket often:

TMBR Turner with a walnut axle.

Don’t get me wrong, I still take other yoyos out. They just go in my car’s cup holder or on a carabiner on my belt loop rather than in my pocket :sweat_smile:

To me, the TMBR Turner isn’t really a “undersized” yoyo at 57mm in diameter and I would even consider it a little big. The common definition of undersized includes yo-yos that are 50-54mm in diameter. My definition for undersized is above 40mm and less than 50mm in diameter.

I think what you meant to say is that you can’t stand wide yo-yos in your pocket rather than big yo-yos as size usually relates to the diameter of a yoyo.

Makes sense, if that’s the way “undersized” is defined then sure. Never said the Turner was undersized, I said it’s what I put in my pocket. To me there’s a big difference between something like the Daredevil, which is only a few mm smaller than other yoyos, and something like the Assassin, which is quite a bit smaller than most yoyos but I still wouldn’t call it a pocket throw even though it’s definitely undersized, and something that actually fits nicely in a pocket.

Just curious, why does your definition cover 40-50mm but not smaller? Is there another term for smaller yoyos like the Loonie? (Which BTW I’d definitely consider a pocket throw lol)

I tend to agree that “pocket” and “undersized” are definitely different and in separate categories. But then you also have the mighty flea and throws like that which I think are also different from the other two and would call them minis or something like that

Yeah that makes sense. The Loonie is like that, definitely a “mini” yoyo, possibly even “micro” lol

Is that the one with the tiny steel rings too, or am I thinking of something else? Either way I have heard that thing is super fun

The Loonie is a little brass throw, based on the Canadian $1 coin which is called a Loonie since it has a loon bird on it. They also made the Toonie, which is the sequel to the Loonie and it’s a bi-metal so that’s probably the one you’re thinking of.

Link to the Toonie on YYE, I don’t think they carry the original Loonie.

Yep the Toonie was the one I was thinking of, such innovation for such a small throw

FYI, the toonie is what we call our $2 coin! And it happens to be bimetal, so it was a fun follow up.

Learning something new today :white_check_mark: That makes a lot of sense and totally adds to the awesomeness of the yoyo
