YYR Onslaught?

the Onslaught is a really great yoyo, one of the best of the more recent YYR designs in my opinion. unfortunately, the unique design of it is not executed in the best way.

if you didn’t know, there are two rims on the Onslaught, the outer rim is SS and the inner rim is actually plastic. this design is super unique and plays very uniquely too. the performance of the yoyo is really good, as most yyr bimetals are, but the plastic ring gives a very interesting feel to the yoyo, it’s hard to describe, but it is very unique and in my opinion, it is very cool.

like I said though, because of this unique rim design with the two very different materials, there are some problems. if you damage the yoyo enough, the plastic rim may start to move/spin, though the yoyo will 100% still be playable and it probably won’t even affect the smoothness of the yoyo. if you end up hitting the ground often, the plastic rim may even pop out. luckily, it is really easy to get the rim back in, it’ll literally just pop back in, and it still shouldn’t affect smoothness much, but it is a problem with the yoyo design itself.

other than those problems with the rim design, the Onslaught is a really great yoyo, and is one of the most unique bimetal designs in awhile. I definitely recommend it if you have the chance to pick one up!
