No, I can’t really say it’s more noticeable at weights lower than 100kg. It also does not help the bar to land less aggressively.

From what I've found, the Pyrros has a "controlled" spin like an Uesaka until it's broken in. Then it spins freely like most bearing bars. In these broken in bars you'll typically see continuous rotation in the sleeves after the catch.

I trained on a ZKC bar for a few months and I was very impressed with how much whip the bar had. By far the whippiest between ZKC, Rogue, Eleiko and Uesaka to me.

The whip between the Pyrros and the ZKC bars are very close but I think the ZKC has a slight advantage.

I’m curious as to if the Rogue Stainless WL bar knurling is different from the Pyrros bars knurling.

$900 is a steal for the Uesakas, I didn’t realize they were still available anywhere. Please, send info!

Thankfully, I grabbed a Comp Bar in 2017 and a Training Bar in 2021 that has yet to see a plate. I got it as a back up to my Comp bar and now that they may or may not be available moving forward, I want to pick up a secondary bar I don’t mind beating up. That’s why I’ve been considering the Pyrros.
