Is that what used to be the standard? The Snack was the smallest yoyo I’ve owned. Maybe it’s undersized and not actually “mini”? ---

One of the huge pluses about about them, is that with the short string, you can easily play standing in line or even sitting down. ---

Definitely undersized, there was a time when you could have a 50mm as your main throw and it was normal, I feel. Also 50 is about the smallest you can go and get great performance. When you get smaller than that it starts getting into novelty territory. For me it was a weird transition moving up, because I was learning unresponsive on an 888, 5150, and C13. ---

I actually lean more towards novelty with this one. I just need something that’s convenient enough to carry all the time and big enough to stop a plane hijacking with a forward pass to the face. The Zippfly definitely met that criteria so something around that size. Something like a GenXs is way to big. @twitch77 I actually prefer my bangers mint in package. But the FH mini I have left won’t fit in my pocket. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/d/0/dd0811898f0409f16e8ca64d42300c61240c709c.jpeg) ---

Ministar 2 or Masamini depending on how small you want it. I’ve owned quite a few undersized throws and those are the cream of the crop. ---

I also will throw in for a popstar B grade. I have one. They are pretty fun and well worth the money for a beater. Sorry about your zipfly. I sure am enjoying it though. :wink: ---

Don’t be sorry about the Zipppfly. It served me well and it will do the same for you. If you love something, let it go. It was time for a change after about 17 years together. On that note can you believe that thing is in that good a shape for an everyday carry of 17 years? That’s the quality of Dif-e-yo. I’m feeling out of the current lineup of minis the Loonie is going to be the closest in terms of durability. I’m definitely getting a B popstar but don’t like the economics of paying $5 shipping on a $10 throw so will wait a bit. But I think I need one of the 66% as well because they are beautiful and I like the idea. Still contemplating, you should see me trying to decide what to drink when I see a wall of choices at 7-11 that can take all day ---

The 66% line and Loonie are all good choices. I would say the 66% Edge Beyond, for example, is much more playable than the Loonie right out of the box. Less of an adjustment period getting used to it. I felt like I wanted a thinner string and definitely shorter when throwing the loonie (not that that’s a bad thing) whereas with the 66% models you can get away with a longer string. Loonie has them beat for pocketability though. ---

Yeah, if you want novelty and pocketable the loonie is a solid choice. I’ve put it in my pocket several times and forgot it was even in there. ---

The answer to this question is ALWAYS the @DocPop Executive. It’s the best mini/undersized that’s ever been created. Hoping that there will be an A bearing version in the future, because I think that would be a blast to play. ---

We almost went with an A bearing on launch and I’m kicking myself for not doing it. We prototyped an A and C bearing and felt the A played slightly better, but the difference was so small that we decided to stick with the C because it was more standardized and allowed players more options for customization. ---
