surely my point of view is very countercurrent … I own a Hideyoshi I have never found it particularly pleasant to play, it is not particularly fast or light, I do not find advantages in the use of its rings.
more generally this is what I think in general of bi-metal, I have several, all excellent yoyos, but everyone has shown me that it has no particular advantages compared to a good yoyo made of aluminum only.
Are a Draupnir or a Start the Riot not a good yoyo? certainly. but if I take a Dreadnought or a Third Impact then I don’t say “my god the world has changed.”
aluminum yoyo with best weight distribution among the ones I have? certainly the Turntable, certainly not The Edge or the Space Cowboy or the Space Cadet … even the Paolista (really good yoyo!) I prefer compared to these three bi-metal.
I repeat, they are all good or excellent yoyos, but nothing more that you can achieve with a well-designed and made single-metal yoyo, and being objects assembled in several parts, this aspect also makes them more fragile and / or problematic.
