Isn’t moving the yoyo in a different plane thats not the usual plane thats in front of your body done in the mindset of stepping out of the norm of how usually tricks are done? Congrats, you posted a genuine unpopular opinion. ---

3D often have visible consequences regarding the stability of a given throw. Also, the 3D gimmick just feels bad to me when I try it. Something about it feels false. ---

I got my PLSTC this week and I am absolutely BAFFLED at people’s praise of this thing. I play a lot of plastic for someone with my size collection, in fact even though my main throw is an Anglam and an overdrive, probably 30-40% of the time I am throwing a plastic. I find it much inferior to the Premiere, to the Diffusion, the Big Dipper. Honestly, I don’t think it’s as good as the Wedge or First Base. It’s feels light and it is relatively fast, I’ll give you that. But it lacks power, it’s relatively unstable and it doesn’t even feel particularly good. People I respect have said good things about it, I feel like I got a different YoYo or something because if I could describe this throw in one word it would be “unimpressive”. ---

I thought it was okay. Really smooth for a plastic, but that’s about all it had over other plastics I’ve tried. ---

Idk, I really like my PLSTC. I have more limited experience with modern plastics (I only have a sk8er, Skyva, and a Replay Pro), but it honestly surprised me. It is smooth and spins long enough for my combos, while not feeling dead like the Skyva. I like it, but not as much as pretty much any metal. Maybe if I tried more plastic yos I would find flaws in it, but otherwise it is my best unresponsive plastic. ---

I felt the same way about the Wedge, though for me the Wedge also suffers from Much Too Wide Syndrome, and since the PLSTC looks like a polycarb Cadence inflated to Wedge proportions, I knew it would be a hard pass for me. Which is a shame because I really love the frosted finish and available colors. ---

My PLSTC is super stable, spins a really long time, and has one the smoothest surfaces of any of my plastics. Out grinds metals I own. I really like how they look too.
