I think you might be confusing the term bi-metal

The rally and DM2 are plastic and have aluminum rings

The berserker has a body made of 6061 aluminum and rings made of 7075 aluminum

If you’re talking about a plastic body with a metal ring, a hitman or DMII fills the bill.  
YYJ has the corner on the market for this type of design/construction.

I basically mean any yoyo with plastic and metal,  
Wouldn’t you consider any yoyo that has metal and plastic to be a Bi metal?

Bi-metal suggests it’s two metals. Although you often hear plastic/metal hybrids referred to that way.

Bi-Metal refers to a yoyo that is constructed with two metals. Usually an aluminum body with with titanium or any other heavier metal rims.

A yoyo that is both metal and plastic is just referred to as a hybrid yoyo. Or metal rimmed.

Back to your original question:

You probably know by now that a lot of people will tell you it comes down to preference and there is no definitive “best”.

Most metal rimmed plastics play really well, in my experience. The rings do such a good job of concentrating weight on the rims, or even allowing the weight to be put in a specific place, such as with some YYJs like the Phenomizm.

However, vibe is very common in hybrid Yoyos. Any time you have a yoyo constructed of more than four parts (two halves, axle, bearing), you run an increased risk of vibe.

I am a beginner, I started with Protostar and currently play with rally.  
For me, there is no comparison between the two. Rally is miles ahead.
