I just got my hitman pro a few days ago, but when i was working on tricks today, i found that on one side, the plastic and metal doesnt align, there’s a little gap between the two which is weird since its not on the other side. What do I do about this? I’m not sure if it was like this before or not. I tried to move it to see if it would get closer but it wouldnt budge so i dont think anything’s broken inside, just not aligned. what should I do? ---

Most plastic/metal yoyos exhibit a seam between the two. If you think it’s defective contact the store you bought it from. ---

really? i never had a yoyo like this before so you might be right. The gap is 1mm wide though, is that right? and why is it only on one side and not the other? I bought it here so is there a way to tell if its defective? ---

I have 3 DM v1’s, and they all have the seam where the metal meets the plastic. If it doesn’t affect anything, ignore it. That’s what I do. ---

Are you eyeballing it or did you measure it with a gage? That seems wide. ---
