For in the Pocket;

1. ZGRT Janus
2. ZGRT El Mijo Poly Carb
3. One Drop Deep State or Deeper State
4. Recess Snack

All other yoyos that are wider go into a Holster I purchased from Mr. Rob @RC_yo-yo. I got the “Weekender” Size. So it hold most of my take with me throws.

For more Standard size Yoyos, I use a Lanyard that the kids and I made.

Panorama in the front pocket of my jeans, I have a time or two had people where I live ask me. “ what type of dip you got there” ewwww

But I digress Panorama travels well and when I transition back to my other wider organic throws I seem to control them better after working with the Panorama.

I’ve been playing a hubstack confusion that I made unresponsive and I love it. It’s so slim plus the hubstacks add a little flair. It’s size drops right into a pocket no problem! Whipping the string into the gap to DNA if someone asks is near impossible, though. I feel this adds to it’s charm.

Usually I play responsive and the Butterfly AL checks all my boxes for a pocket carry.

It depends on whether you are looking for a responsive, semi or unresponsive yoyo game…  
There are many, like those already mentioned in the thread and many others that come to mind…  
That fit well in a pants pocket,I say these, to give 3 examples: Deep State, The Executive or The Saint Eel;)

They’ve had B grade Snacks at this price before and IMHO it’s the best deal in yo-yo. Awesome throw, highly recommend. Maybe I should pick up a second and try out 3A?

Depends how small we’re going for “pocket”

52mm - love the decade. Thing is a fantastic lil organic.

Small small - mini covey. Best sub 50mm yo-yo I’ve played. The switch to the D bearing was great, I wish I would have tried that on the mini banshee wide.

Pocket yoyo to me should fit comfortably in my jeans… fixed or unresponsive actually can fit both in the same pocket… only one for me is el MiJo.  
Spoiler alert… keep your eyes on ZGRT for some really cool news!

I like the Panorama or Phideas… but they are literally my only unresponsive slimlines.

I really love the Kamuraiju. It’s small enough to throw in my pocket and handles my tricks like it ain’t no thang.

None of these are cheap though unless you can find a good BST deal.

Pocket yoyos are narrow yoyos imho, not small diameter yoyos. As such the best pocket yoyos are as follows:

Deep State

I loved those two yoyos so much, I bugged my favorite yoyo designer, @G2_Jake, into making a matching set of highly optimized slim-lines.

The @DocPop Executive and Spencer Berry’s Walter are my all time favorite pocket yoyos.

Some of these yoyos listed make me think you guys have massive pockets, I could never fit some of these in my pocket :joy:
