I already tried teflon taping it as well, didn’t work.

Try changing the axle or bearing.

the wobble is caused by the sides being different shapes or your gap is messed up.like the threads arnt straight.retap it to a slightly bigger size.

Alright, I think I’ll just send it off to Lando to retap it to YYR size and possible tap through and spike it.

Did you actually [tune it](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,9488.0.html), or did you just wrap the axle with teflon tape?

Teflon will fix vibe. Not a wobble. If it wobbles something is off alignment. Wrong axle? Yoyo damage causeing it to screw together out of sync. Bearing seat milled wrong or damage? Response pads sticking out to far on 1 side? Or wrong size?

More than likely though if the yoyo has damage the aluminum is probably tweaked causing it to not spin true.
