It is subjective and I admit I’m giving you my opinion. I didn’t say I had the definitive answer.

Thank you for the clarification! Would you mind explaining what you mean by axial rim weight? I’m not sure i understand the term.

Same here bro that bearing can rot in there for all I care, axle knot? Guess I’m buying a new yoyo

Its a nice tool that is a clear improvement over the simple post style, but IMO it doesn’t do much to alleviate pressure on the bearing post.

Along the line of the axle far from the center. Older yoyos used to have thumb grind lips and big overhangs of weight which axial rim weight. These days you don’t see that as much.

This is insane, even for aerospace, but at One Drop we do it. No one else attempts because of cost reduction - it’s too expensive to do this because when you miss, the parts are bad so production loss is much higher. So the solution is a bigger tolerance range that biases the tight side. This is why many non-On…

Right here

“Wide” is most certainly a subjective term. Beautiful, fast, comfortable, difficult, good, and bad are all relative and subjective terms. That’s why everyone on this thread has their own opinion of what they consider to be wide. There might be some agreement between parties, sure, but that doesn’t make it objective. The only way to discuss width in objective terms is to use the actual numbers.

To use David’s point, the iYoyo Spire is 60mm wide. If it were a 59mm diameter 1A yoyo most would consider that wide. But since it’s a 75mm 4A yoyo, I guarantee you that I don’t consider it wide when I’m trying to catch it.

surprised this has become such an iterative topic, and especially if there’s country vs. country involved…. literal people on the same or similar machines make these things. what’s better is what you prefer, or like.

Being “wide” is different from being “wide considering its diameter”. Idk why goalposts are constantly being moved.

43mm is objectively narrower than 46mm. Regardless of the diameter.

If there is a 50mm x 50mm yoyo and a 100mm x 60mm yoyo, sure the 50mm x 50mm yoyo is gonna look wide considering its diameter but the 100mm x 60mm yoyo is still going to be objectively wider, and thus more fit for landing difficult hook tricks or zoning tricks that benefit from an objectively wider catch zone.
