I don’t have one but I imagine a DD Kanto would be a good pocket yoyo.

Didn’t think about the black cannon but yes that’s on my list too.

CLYW Ditch  
Fair Trade 138

Responsive:  
Onedrop Deep State  
CoreCo. Alleycat 650b

Fixed:  
Spinworthy Survivalist  
Duncan 2020 Butterfly (not super slim, but durable and $5, and everyone should own several)

Man, I need to be throat punched for forgetting the GOPA. It’s not cheap, but omfg it’s an outstanding yoyo. And at just under 1.5" wide, it’s perfectly pocketable.

Let’s stick to yoyo standards… 1.5 inch = 38.1 mm. 😄 haha.

The specs actually say 1.42 or 36mm. That’s nice and pocketable! I’ve never tried one.

If you ever run across one I highly recommend it. The GOPA plays really funky, like an organic that f’ing hates you. :joy: It’s a fun time whenever I pick it up.

Totally agree. 38 mm is about the upper width limit of what I consider a comfortable pocket throw.

I think i agree in general, but for me personally 38mm is too wide. im a weirdo who wears skinny jeans more often than not, and even 32mm starts to feel too tight in the pocket

For me.

28-30 mm = barely notice it’s there  
30-33 mm = still comfortable  
33-35 mm = doable but awkward at times  
35-38 mm = borderline uncomfortable

My pants that actually have pockets that fit a yoyo can fit any of my yoyos. Even Pomelo! My skinnies don’t really have room to hold any yoyos comfortably. I usually just use a yoyo holster attached to a fanny pack around my shoulder (2-3 more yos inside that!)

El Mijo Polycarbonate seems like the perfect pocket yoyo.

Never played one…but wouldn’t mind having one in my pocket **all the time**. 😁
