This is a much better outcome than stripping the threads, at least.

True. Like I said, I’m very happy it still works.

They don’t call it the overthrow for nothing

Any pics? What exactly happens when the Overthrow hits the ground hard?

It cracks. The crack doesn’t seem bad until you put the weight ring back in. It wobbles like crazy like. Thankfully I have an extra dragon cap I can use to replace it with.

the axle gets stuck on some threads, causing the remaining length of the axle entering the other half of the yoyo and pushing an unsatisfying bump.
pro tip: use a hex key

i would imagine finger spins are less satisfying
I just did that to my paolista like 4 days ago!! Luckily it was a bgrade. Still play ya good also!

I was using the yyf hex tool when I did my paolista. The axle kept coming loose on me, so I got it finger tight and gave it another 1/2 turn. Low and behold a new little nipple on one of the halves

Learning the really cool string tension fixer helix trick and the yoyo pops off the string (the loop around the bearing) and falls to the concrete…first ding in a brand new throw.
Dumbest thing is getting a new to me Yoyo in the mail with a string already on it and forgetting to check string length or thinking that’s a little long, but I can handle it…and smacking a brand new to me throw into the concrete.
I almost always play over concrete, bc that’s what the floor is made of at my job that I spend all my time at.

I’ve done this too! Luckily it was indoors, but it escaped from the loop and went on a walk by itself through my house.
Probably this one since you can pretty easily loosen it too much if you go for too long:
There’s a fancier version called Bindwinder, too:

I’ve heard it called both names!

My OCD requires that all axles in my yoyos are tightened down with the Allen hole up, but my Ta-1 had the axle waaaaaay stuck in there, so I tried to crank it out using a vicegrip and sheared the axle. I now have a perfect condition Ta-1 that is unusable because one side instead of an axle hole just has a crushed piece of metal. Oh, I also once threw a yoyo through a window because I was pissed the hell off at it. I had meant to throw it into my couch, but let go a little too soon. Broke the window, yoyo flew into the ocean

I think a DM2? long time ago, don’t quite remember.
Hilariously enough a year later I found it, but the rims were missing? Somehow something took both metal rims off and left the rest
