I see one silver yoyo that proves One Drop doesn’t need to make overly wide yoyos that aren’t considered legendary. ---

Oh, I understand! That makes sense. So in this sense, the 543 (pictured on the right) would be wide because it’s 54x54, or a 1:1 ratio, with other examples being the 5050 (50x50) and 583 (58x58). A Leviathan 8 (43x52) would be fairly wide with ratio of 83%, correct? ---

Yeah 1:1 is very wide in my opinion. 83% I would consider wide. Anything above 80 I would say wide, but agains, that’s my view. ---

No one said it was. I agree that Chinese factories do good work these days. The bearing post thing is a choice they make. We make a different choice. Each has it’s upside and downside. ---

A few people in this thread have stated or alluded to the idea that making goods in China is always cheaper, and specifically VERY much cheaper. For the record, this is only true in some specific situations under specific conditions. “Made in China” doesn’t always mean cheaper, and these days there are quite a few industries where the cost is pretty much the same after you factor in shipping and duties. Right now, one of the biggest advantages to manufacturing… ---

> [@yoyospirit](#): > > Since when did tight bearing seats become THE marker for lower quality of machining? When removing a bearing for regular maintenance caused damage that compromised the quality of the yoyo. But I get what you’re saying: there are a number of other factors that define quality. I think bearing posts are just the most obvious and easiest to pick on. ---

> [@da5id](#): > > It’s the ratio that’s important its subjective what ratio means wide. I hate to butt heads with literally one of the most important companies in history but I wonder if this is really true. Width and whether a yoyo is to be considered “wide” or “narrow” is a spec statistic. It’s not about ratio at all. If you have a yoyo outside the scope of “average” by definition, it is wide. Your guys’ definition of what makes a yoyo “wide” isn’t correct, and I think you’re applying subjectivity to something that is explained with statistics and averages. If you have a yoyo that’s oversized by definition, at 60mm in dia, and 50mm width, it is wider than the average yoyo; thus, it is a wide yoyo. The ratio means nothing, it’s still a wide yoyo. ---
