I’ve noticed a lot of throws these days linger around 63-64g, usually hanging on the lighter end of the gram spectrum…I personally like heavier - what do you guys prefer?
I’m only talking numbers here…not weight distribution and play feel

It entirely depends on the shape and size of the yoyo.

Lighter is better imo.

If it’s 48 mm or under it has to weigh less than 4 pounds otherwise it will feel like a rock on the string.

Can we just do 63-68?

That’s the range of 99% of players. The weight doesn’t matter as much as its distribution.

Yes, agreed @hobbygod, I highlighted this in the op - this poll is to help me understand the mentality of consumers judging whether or not they should purchase a throw when all they have are the specs
Of course diameter and width come into play when deciding but has anyone ever been dissuaded by making a purchase when they see a weight they don’t agree with?
Most throws exist on the \<63g list these days - I personally don’t buy a throw if I consider it too light, even if I agree with everything else

Ranges are way too specific. I like stuff that enters in a lot of those ranges, literally 60 - 68 g.

How many throws exist in the 70g-78g range?
What about the 50g to 58g range?
This is why I broke it down :joy:
Alas, y’all answered my question

Most of the time if I say \>67 I’m like nahhhhh that’s a turn off. For certain designs it’s more like \>65.
I can go pretty light though, doesn’t bother me.

If I could have a Hashtag made out of lead throw true every time, I’d be sooooo happy.

I’ve been throwing my Ti Float and Markmont Classic the most lately. So… 59-67g is the sweet spot I guess.
