Good news, everyone! I’m looking to get a new throw. I want something slightly undersized because I feel my G-Funk is too small. I’ve been throwing for around 3~months but progressing well (imo). I really like my Genesis/Protostar/G-Funk but I want to try something in the middle ground (size-wise). Floaty and Solid are still hard to define for me but I think I like a little more weight in my throws, I’m still learning so speed isn’t all that important to me. The only thing I’ve really seen has been the OD Yelets, but I would like more suggestions and/or pros and cons of the yelets (the reviews ive read weren’t very informative). Any help would be appreciated ;D -Do you know how to bind the yoyo? yes -Do you have a yoyo that you own or played with that you have liked very much? Switch back and forth from my protostar, g-funk, and stacked genesis -Do you have a preferred shape of the yoyo? not really, still experimenting -Do you have a preferred weight or weight distribution? mid 60’s -Do you have a price range? under $100 -Do you prefer a certain brand? negatory -Do you want hubsstacks or z stacks? no -What trick are you currently working on? white buddah -Do you want a yoyo to Thumb grind or arm grind well? sure, why not ---

I would recommend the G Squared Quake! It’s a little out of your price range but I think that dropping that extra $10 is worth it! The Quake is mid-sized and a bit floaty but you can feel a clunk when it hits the end of the string. It’s one of my favorite yoyos (I know that means nothing) and from all you specifications I think you’ll like it too! Thanks Jansen ---

How about the DV888. It is 1.97 inches, metal, and at $50 it is a good value. It plays well and is well balanced. ---

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming! The DV888 - I think this is still too small, at 50mm, for what I want. My G-Funk is 49.85mm and it’s too small. The Quake - Specs look solid, but the price makes me shy away, my $100 price point was more of a “I’ll spend it if I absolutely NEED to have that throw.” I’ll keep it in my mind for a contender tho, thanks! ---

Yelets is awesome but I’d strongly suggest picking one up on the BST since the prices have been insanely low lately (I’ve seen as low as $35 for mint with box) if you decide on that. I’d definitely consider it an undersized throw though. Quake is really unbeatable nut $110 retail or $80-100 on the BST Yoyofficer Imp at $40 looks great to me, not sure what else they have in the midsize range Other than that not really sure what’s available in the \<$100 range for midsized. Most my good value suggestions that come to mind right now are full sized throws. ---

C3 Glitter comes to mind. Also the Werrd Minute and C3 Dibase 2 would fit this perfectly as well. YoyoOfficer also has the kilter and IMP but they’re not carried at yye currently but also both fit the requirements. ---

After trying to read up on the mid-sized throws all day, I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Quake or Yelets. Anybody have any more insight on either? ---

No knock on the yelets, its a fun throw, but its not in the same ballpark as the Quake. Quake is CRAZY good at that size. ---

General Yo Hatrick 64.1 grams 50.3 mm diameter I love this throw. You can get one on the bst for around $75. They are extremly smooth and are great on grinds. I have two that’s how good they are. ---

Hatrick is outdated by todays standards. Fun throw but not exactly that great. Of the 2 listed would take the quake anyday but it’s $110 new. The yelets was just not my cup of tea. ---

I adore smaller throws, what I have and recommend would be… Have: DV888 SpinDynamics Smooth Move Hitman Pro Recommend: All the ones up there Y factor 54 Arctic circle Speedaholic I know that the 54 and the ones past it aren’t completely smaller, but it is mid sized, so it smaller than usual! :wink: ---

2.0 is inexpensive and a nice undersized. ---

Anyone have any experience with the MVP2? The DiBase2 seems to have the same “extreme undercut” the MVP2 does and I don’t much like the way the MVP2 plays, any insight? ---

If you’re ok with buying off the BST there’s a cheap Something Angle and it’s easily one of the best undersized throws I’ve owned. I’ve tried the dibase2 but not the mvp2 so can’t give much insight. I have owned an AG, tried an AG2 and a GE and it played nothing like those. ---

The Chico flyer is AMAZING literally like it better than my equilateral, it’s better than the yelets and the cafe racer, not good with arm grinds but that’s it. My #1 choice for undersized
