This has been discussed before but this is generally accepted as the correct classification

0-49mm = Mini  
50-51mm = Undersized  
52-53mm = Midsized  
54-56mm = Full Sized  
57mm+ = Oversized

It’s all relative to the player

Generally,  
50-53: undersized  
53-54: midsized  
54-57: fullsized  
58+: oversized

You’ll notice I repeated some, this is because there is often disagreement about classification with these.

my definition:  
undersized \< 54mm \<= oversized  
simple as that.  
Unless you want me to include things like mini pocket throws (token, or even more extreme, mighty flea) and more offstring sized stuff. If it’s significantly higher or lower than 54mm, it fits into one of those categories.

This may be true, but there are some smaller throws that play like larger throws, and larger throws that play more undersized. That’s why “mid-size” is an important category.

Case(s) in point: OD cascade plays undersized, a la an 888 kinda. 53mm Diameter, feels small and wide in the hand.

VsNYYC Skywalker: Just under 53mm but plays more midsized. I won’t say it plays full sized, but it definitely doesn’t play like an undersized throw. It fills up the hand when you hold it.

General yo 5star v2- 52mm, yet definitely plays mid/full sized. Fills up the hand more than you’d expect.

401SD- Fullsized smallbearing throw. Definitely feels smaller in the hand than other throws with similar specs.
