Japan Tecnology - Plactal
The signature Multi-material model of national champion Kohei Nishimura.
Based on Kohei Nishimura's previous signature model, the Plactal is a Multi-material model with a machined polycarbonate body, aluminum core, and stainless steel rims.
The high weight of the rim provides overwhelming power and stability, and the lightweight feel of the machined polycarbonate body is a perfect match for steady but snappy, serious play.
From the manufacturer
This is the signature model of 2023 Japan National Champion Kohei Nishimura.
Body: Polycarbonate (PC) Core parts: Aluminum (AL) Rim: Stainless Steel (SUS)
This yo-yo is made of the above materials and named "PLACTAL". Metal models have become the mainstream choice in the competition scene (1A) in recent years. This model was developed over a long period of time in pursuit of performance that would compete with the metal models that have become the mainstream choice in the 1A scene.
The rim shape of FRACTAL released after August 2023 has been changed, but the rim shape of the early model FRACTAL has been used for this model since the development started in early 2023. The rim shape is the same as that of FRACTAL and JET.
The rim has an overwhelmingly high weight compared to FRACTAL and JT bimetallic models, and the approach to joining the body and rim is also unique. It took us about three months to fight against the blurring caused by the pursuit of this complex concept. We were able to achieve stable production by making various adjustments and innovations, such as fine-tuning the thickness and shape of the body, selecting the size of the axel, and integrating the central part, which was composed of a core and spacer in the prototype stage.
The PLACTAL is a high-end plastic and stainless steel rim model newly proposed by JAPAN TECHNOLOGY.
