Plactal
Japan Technology - Kohei Nishimura Signature Yoyo!
Introducing the PLACTAL, the signature model of Kohei Nishimura, the 2023 Japan National Champion. Crafted with a polycarbonate (PC) body, aluminum (AL) core parts, and a stainless steel (SUS) rim, this yo-yo is designed to compete with the metal models dominating the 1A competition scene.
Developed meticulously over an extended period, the PLACTAL inherits its rim shape from the early model FRACTAL and JET, ensuring optimal performance. Despite its plastic body, the rim boasts significant weight, surpassing even the Japan Technology bi-metal models like FRACTAL. JT's unique approach to joining the body and rim required months of fine-tuning to overcome challenges and achieve stable production.
The PLACTAL represents an amazing fusion of high-end plastic and stainless steel rim technology, marking a new era in yo-yo design by JAPAN TECHNOLOGY.
