In my humble opinion, conceptually there are three tiers of “undersized” based on **diameter** : 1. REALLY tiny, made entirely of very heavy metals like stainless steel or brass. **25mm-30mm diameter** or less. This is getting into serious novelty throw territory. Examples: Heist, Flea, Aoda Little. 2. Undersize, **31mm-49mm diameter** – to me, this is “mainstream” undersized today. Tons of examples, C3 Token, TopYo Photon, Mini-Star 2. 3. _Moderately_ undersize, basically a 2010 idea of diameter and width, more of a “throwback” design – as yo-yos clearly have been getting bigger over time, both in diameter and width. **50mm-53mm diameter**. Examples are Veritas Pro, Hexada, Anti-Yo, 888, Marquis. Here’s a picture of representative family members in each tier: ![IMG_6845](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/2/a/92a91239267412b913b7f371cb0677fd6f2af540.jpeg) I’d say the typical / average diameter of a yo-yo today is “Shutter diameter” or 56mm, but sometimes even more. The Horizon is 59mm. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/recommended-best-undersized-yo-yo-2018/292159)._
