YoYoWiki says :

> The disadvantages of a starburst are, that they are sometimes noisy when the string touches them during play, and that they can wear out with time if the plastic is too soft. The Team Losi Cherry Bomb was notorious for this. Once the starburst is gone, there is no way of replacing it. Another problem is that it is very difficult to add these to aluminum yo-yos, because you can’t create them on a lathe.

How does Velocity handle the starburst? Does it wear out fast, etc? Give us your opinion

Thanks!

Please condense your topics into one. Maybe just ask these questions in your first thread?

The starburst on the Velocity won’t wear out.

I only found out about starbursts wearing out and stuff like that after I made the thread, and I thought it would be good to make a new thread,

but you’re right, these 2 last threads should had been the same.  
Thanks for the tips,
