W, H, O, V … and sometimes M wink [image] The above is the 2016 OneDrop benchmarks, but there is some debate as to whether or not their “H” is… actually an H?

It can also be the size if the yo-yo relative to your hand. V shaped I might like up till a certain diameter and so on, until the sharper angle is uncomfortable. I’m thinking of my General Yo Amplitude, which is angular but a smaller yo-yo. If it was full sized, doubt I would like it. Time to use the amplitude for today, forgot how much I liked it. ---

Modified is the shape. From the first Pro-Yo, to the Turbo Bumblebee, One Drop Dingo, PDX Phidias, Yomega Raider Etc. Take an Imperial lop a little off the top and there you have it. This is what made me start comparing and referring to yo-yos as wheels. Because that’s essentially what this is. Feels great in the hand and not having a super wide catch zone when you land your tricks you know you were on point. I love the perfect circle ⭕ that you get with this shape. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/4/4/24479b166df22feef6cfef2f29e762195c00db0e.jpeg) !_emphasized text_[image|666x500](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/uploads/short-url/cRp64O80Ykn1zugyI6lhUa3X4Iy.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/8/3/58378bb99462b9a4f589307b4e7fa02dcc9e94f2.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/0/1/601422405ca4e7b6f4483b27636539865b1140d9.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/1/7/d17d42997bea268eadbed22be03044edc1e13305.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/7/a/b7af7cca9811defd92701c1e3eccbeb25775b90c.jpeg) ![image|500x500] ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/9/1/591477462d4226e770f1458b06c6e804425dfc6c.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/1/d/d1d0b46f1c218f657995a5d4f6a5948cc0b6e1b0.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/3/f/c3f35bf305a66837a8653f6711fdcd2ace9c20a0.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/4/3/843518c75aed6bdba114543a8ccc98bc871c613b.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/7/e/57e54c09a7f389f30b337bfae9b791d904d617e5.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/favorite-yoyo-shape/320038.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/favorite-yoyo-shape/320038.md?page=3)
