Good examples of which would be, what?
The peon and squib from a-rt, both are oversized and have a small width, not rim weighted so it would focus on technique more.
I was looking at all my throws that I like and noticed that the only throws I have that are over 65g are either undersized or oversized. So I would say heavier throws should not be midsize.
Xoxoxo
Are either of them in wide enough availability to construct a contest around?
Maybe a small one, not something like nats or worlds
Modern yoyos are getting too light.
Oh no no no no no, oh this one pushed my buttons . I have a few lighter throws 50-60g which dance, fly and float to the strings command.
If done right it can be beautiful like my smashing crucible.
I’ve only just got here with the "lighties" so Im probably overreacting
v-shapes suck.
just wanted to remind everyone.
@JavaDogs That’s an odd way to spell organic shape
All shapes are good guys!!!
Different snacks for different moods!
This is an unpopular yoyo opinion.
To be fair, variety is the spice of life. Having many yoyos of different shapes allows creativity. I like organics for casual play, but if I want to do horizontal or a speed combo, I want a more aggressive shape. Also, I have never had a good true organic (only one modified organic of the Duncan Barracuda X–which is an amazing throw), so I am a little biased.
you sick sick freak…

That is me!
Variety is not for everyone. There are, for example, some weirdos out there whose collections are predominantly, if not almost entirely, organic-shaped yoyos. They found what they like and they stick to it. You gotta respect that kind of commitment to sameness.
That is a fair point that I forgot to consider, but at one point they probably tried other styles. I am basing this off of My father who is one of those people. He owns one yoyo and refuses to touch anything else (especially if it is not a Duncan), but he did experiment with a few of my Duncan throws. I still will hold that experimentation with other styles of play and different throws makes you a better yoyoer (but that’s my unpopular yoyo opinion).
He’s obviously happy with his one yoyo. I really admire that a lot. Seriously. I wish I could feel the same.
Sometimes it looks like the yoyo is just a necessary annoying prop in advanced tricks and the experience would be more enjoyable for the thrower if it were just he or she with a string because, face it, the string sees a lot more action than the yoyo.
