With the recent trend of yoyos getting wider I’m curious what is the preferred yoyo width..
- 39mm and below
- 40-43mm
- 44-47mm
- 48-51mm
- 52mm and above

Personally, it depends on the type of genre of yoyos. I do enjoy slimlines, casual organics, and competition yoyos, and obviously each of those play types lend themself to a different type of construction. However, in my experience, about 47-48mm is the maximum width before the yoyo starts to be cumbersome for normal use. Granted, I don’t do a lot of the super-duper hop-oriented 69.0 hook type tricks that are popular these days, so these yoyos aren’t really aimed at me.
In general these days I have been leaning towards slimmer however. Just something about the play-feel and agility feels really nice to me.

I vastly prefer 43-46mm, with 44-45mm being the sweet spot.

Initially, I hated anything over 45mm. The few 46mm+ yoyos I’d used just felt so cumbersome. Then someone sent me a YYF MonsteR, and that yoyo was so ridiculously wide (at the time) that it felt like something completely different. It opened my mind, and now I can say I’ve enjoyed 1A yoyos from 39-58mm wide. It just depends on the design, and somewhat my mood. I think 44-45mm is my general preference as well, though.

I either like small width and large diameter, or big width with small diameter.
