I wanted this one so bad lol
Me too. As soon as I seen it, I put it in my cart.
Depending on the color way, the rims can add a UV reactive element so it looks cool and is much more visible using a black light. They can also add an inner rim lip that helps lock in your thumb for thumb grinds without adding much extra weight. If the plastic rim has a greater diameter and/or width than the other materials, it reduces the chance that the metal will be damaged since plastic can absorb damage much better than metal.
This is how the Super Scintillator uses the PC rim, and is (IMHO) probably one of the best implementations of a PC rim.
I’ve tried a bunch at club and thought kinda like how you were thinking at one point and yeah idk lots of the trimaterial yoyos ive tried have been really good. Could they have been really good without doing all that? Yeah probably but trimaterials are cool like the less dense material expands the catch zone w/o warping the weight distro as much like is that minutia? Yeah probably but w/e they are cool and also yeah absolutely not an insane shift or necessary or anything w/e silky pom on skin is nice like it just feels good
