So what’s the difference between undersized and a normal sized throw? Most yoyos I tend to look at are undersized, which really doesn’t mean too much to me.

Also, would people recommend flowable silicone over response pads of any sort?

Thanks in advance 😃

Response is mostly preference. Undersized is less than 54 mm in diameter.

I consider undersized 52 mm and under.

Undersized is around 50 mm, Mid-Sized is 52 mm, and Full-sized is 54 mm+ IMO.

The definitions of size categories will differ slightly from person to person. As far as I’m concerned:

less than 44mm = micro  
44-48mm = mini  
48-52mm = undersized  
52-55mm = mid-sized  
55-60mm = oversized  
more than 60mm = super sized

Don’t get too caught up in the size descriptions. Just look at the actual numbers and shape and see if you think you’d like it based on that.

I agree. I have preferences. Preferences in shape, diameter, width and weight. At the same time, I gladly shop and play outside those parameters. I won’t let my preferences get in the way of getting a great yoyo. Plus, it is fun to step out and try something different. But, that’s just me.

Thanks everyone 😃 Just what I was looking for. Turns out I’ve been throwing an undersized yoyo (888x), so the ones I’m looking at would not be significantly different.
