i can do any trick on my new breed that i can do on my yuuksta and ive tried a chaotic and nvx and the cut and i find my new breed just as smooth its just that bimetals arent all metal so there cheaper to make so people dont have to spend tons of cash on a yoyo they can get a cheap bimetal and get the same play ability (roughly) ---

The Bi-Metals, Im not a fan of. Way to much Vibe in my Opinion. But they play fine when it comes to sleep time and stableness. Metals are just a big deal because they look more impressive. Also most of them grind better, and are overall smoother and less vibey. And I think they charge a lot of money for them just because they can, and it works. Plus they go threw a lot more precision and time to make. Also the Cost of the Material makes the price go up. But in my opinion, ProtoStars and NorthStars are good enough, and play amazing. But some people want/need something better and more expensive. :wink: ---

It’s all in what you like and what you want to spend. I have a large selection of both metal and plastic. I play both regularly and love them all. Each has it’s own unique character that makes it special. Also note that  the term bi-metal as used here is wrong also. People using the term represent a plastic/metal construction yoyo. The proper interpretation of bi-metal would imply that it is two metals, as in a bimetalic strip. > **[Bimetallic strip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip)** > > A bimetallic strip or bimetal strip is a strip that consists of two strips of different metals which expand at different rates as they are heated. They are used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement. The different expansions force the flat strip to bend one way if heated, and in the opposite direction if cooled below its initial temperature. The metal with the higher coefficient of thermal expansion is on the outer side of the curve when the strip is heated and on the inner... ---
