Are there any plastic yoyos that play at a competition level? ---

Probably quite a few, given the right person playing it. It’s the player, not the yoyo. ---

Well lots of them do. It generally depends on the user how well they do in a competition. ---

Any of the higher quality plastic yoyos would be more than satisfactory - replay pro, wedge, mojo, skyva. ---

Gentry won Nationals a few years ago with a Replay, but I’d say it depends more on the thrower than the throw. ---

Replay Pro is the unresponsive ver. of the Replay. Replay Pro is $16, the Replay is $15. Personally I think the Wedge & Protostar (& Replay Pro if it’s your taste) are super competitive plastics. All come from World Champs, so you KNOW it’s good haha ---

I have all three of those, and for $20 they are really good values, but I would never grab one for competition use (instead of a good metal yoyo), no matter what their contest record is in the hands of world champions. But that’s just me. ---

Do you have any delrin yo-yos? Those are closer in performance to metal. I personally don’t really like plastic or wood yo-yos either, they lack the density and consistency of metal… but delrin is in the ballpark at least. And it has a nice hand feel. ---

No Delrin yoyos. But I have the POM Draupnir and the machined PC iCEBERG, both of which perform very much like bimetals, and I would grab one of them before any of the budget plastics for competition any day. But then again, they are _much_ more expensive… ---

Those are bimaterial though, kind of a different beast. Not really “plastic” at that point, are they? Delrin Skyva is probably the easiest one to grab at $36, but I am a big fan of the Zeekio (rebranded Yoyoempire) delrins as well. ---

Okay, sure. They are hybrids. Their primary material is plastic. I didn’t think that a metal rim disqualified them from being in the plastics family, or from being considered a “competition plastic throw”. Semantics maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ---
