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.

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 :rofl::rofl:. 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":heart: so Im probably overreacting :+1: :joy:

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.

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.
