Yeah if you’re early on in your journey and playing over something hard. You’re GOING to hit the floor and ding it.
People used to make a big deal about this. But more and more people seem to be realising you can just push/hammer/pop the ring back on and although it’ll be slightly vibey. It’ll still be perfectly playable. The type of ring doesn’t really matter in that case.
I think outer rims move a little easier maybe…but they’re also easier to push back on. So in the end it’s just a matter of preference I think.
The flame seems a little more fast/lighter in play. But the Centrifugal absolutely destroys it on spin time, power and returning at low rpm.
The flame, however nice the Centrifugal is, is a lot more comfortable in catch and grind aspects. (mind you, I have the polished centrifugal which isn’t great for grinds but I’m talking about a comfort thing here.
The design of the flame has hardly a straight line or an edge, it’s all rounded off curves and rounded edges everywhere.
Centrifugal is a bit more harsh in that aspect although it doesn’t have any really sharp edges either. It IS a really comfortable yoyo. But compared to the Flame most things are just hot garbage unless they’re straight up organics.
Honestly the flame is like “what if we made a performance throw…but with nods to organic flowing elements” and I love it for that.
When it comes to certain specific tricks though the Flame is the clear winner. It grinds like a champ, fingerspins like a demon with that flat cup. And has the overhanging thumb grind lip that just almost locks your nail in to place.
The centrifugal does have a little more inwards sloping string catch area.
So in short, for just straight up performance, power, spin time. Centrifugal
For “weird” tricks and comfort, Flame.
And for me, for a beater that I’ve thrown to hell and back and don’t have to worry about damaging anymore… Flame. (Also I freaking LOVE the color combo on the flame.)

They do. Their called rotating side members. Ultra rare. I dont even have any. Some guy here posted a tutorial for making some out of existing side effects but I ain’t got that much freaking free time on my hands.
