What do you consider to be the best "pocket yoyo"?

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.

I’ll agree everyone should own a proyo and a Duncan butterfly

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.

I think Jake Bullock’s Slappa should be on here!

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

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

whichever one is in my pocket.

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. :grin:
