I’m too lazy to hunt for picks to back this up, but if I’m not mistaken, that’s a completely different design than the bi-metal they’ve previously shown. To my eye, this one looks WAY better and more interesting. ---

They aren’t taking full advantage of the steel rings because they’re not on the outside. Not that inner rings are bad (palpatation is amazing) I just think more could be done with such a cool shape. ---

Not that inner rings are bad (palpatation is amazing) I just think more could be done with such a cool shape. Placing weight under the rims seems to be pretty effective. I have no idea how it would compare to putting larger rings on the outside though. ---

I prefer rings on the inside where they are less likely to get hit and shifted in some way. I’m sure the rings being moved a mm or so to the outside makes some difference but I can’t imagine it makes a big one. Not big enough for me anyway VS being on the outside and becoming a potential source for vibe/knocked loose. The only con I can think of with the design (and it’s not even really a con) is the diameter. It looks about like 56 mm to me. Weight rings help any diameter for sure but to really take advantage/show off the impact bimetal has, I’d think a smaller 53 and under would be ideal. But see that’s not really a con though cause either way it works. Also I have no real working knowledge about the design of spinning toys so uh… I’m probably just talking nonsense. In my mind, a lightweight 56+ will show off the benefit of bimetal pretty well. A “normal” weight 56+ will have a positive impact but monometal that size weight already works darn well. A lightweight or “normal” weight smaller diameter both will play drastically “better” as bimetal. Again I have no studied reason for these words, these are just opinions and thinking out loud. IMO, I find palpitation vs similarly spec monometals different but not incredibly so. I find sputnik (smaller 52ish) to play better than both similar sized and fuller sized monometals. PS - main reason I stayed away from Draupnir was the outside rings. I just don’t trust 'em 😛 ---

> [@Panda\_Monium](#): > > This looks like a must buy for me but I was really hoping for a bimetal with side effects I can see why they wouldn’t use side effects; they add too mush center weight and would sort of work against the bi metal design. I admit this throw looks very interesting, hopefully they can get the weight sub 63g. ---

If your being technical sure, but most people think of rim weights when they hear bimetal, plus this is clearly different from their other “bimetals” so it should be in a different category. ---
