So based on your table, One Drop makes or has made yoyos that are in a comparable width range as other companies. They make fewer of them, but they do/did make them. ---

No, because the weight distribution on those models is nowhere near ideal for competition. I believe G2 Jake’s famous diehard quote is “specs do not make the yoyo”. ---

Out of curiosity what is your financial limit to buying a monometal made in the US from not OD (maybe still OD machined maybe not)? Only asking because I see this argument pop up here and there and then see folks say something like a 10-20% retail price increase. Which in turn means the company selling them would not be able to turn a profit and would go under. ---

No, I’m saying that onedrop hasn’t release a competitive-forward throw since the VTWO (which is still …not really that good for competition now). The Burnside 20/20 was the closest attempt and didn’t meet the mark for me. The YYFR yoyos are competition yoyos, through and throughout. ---
