yeah exactly what title says i just smashed my b-grade horizon that had no vibe before banging it and its vibing and it makes it not as fun anymore is there a way to fix it or lessen it
Well, I usually will try flipping the axle around, and /or the bearing, and making sure I screw it together as evenly as possible, and get some good torque on it when righting, usually till my grip slips a bit.
Failing this, bearing or axle swap
After that if it still is unbearably vibey, it is now an offstring or 5a beater lol
Is this a bimetal? If so then another thing to consider is the rings may have shifted

no its a yoyofactory horizon
but thanks for the advice though
Tuning might help Jacob gross does a good video on it. Otherwise play it, I have a deviant that got smashed around and developed a good pulse vibe. Switched it to 5A and after countless drops the vibe went away
They call it percussive calibration
whats tuning
im sorry but i cant view videos from youtube or a lot of other websites cause my filter blocks it cause of a lot of the inapropriate images on youtube so if you can just explain it i would be very happy
much apreciated
Hmm I’ll try my best
Tuning is a really simple idea that vibe can be fixed by making the axle and hex hole favor one side. I thought it was a joke until I tried it myself and found it works in some cases.
yoyo has vibe, try flipping the axle
If it is smooth, stop, you’re there, you did, congrats!
If it improves, try making the axle a little tighter or looser into that half (don’t go crazy)
If it worsens, reverse the steps and try the other side
Flipping the bearing can sometimes help, but it’s negligible
Different levels of tightness when screwing the halves together can also affect this
Full disclosure, these are tiny tweaks, if you’re past nail vibe, it vibes, just vibe with it and play on. This also only sometimes works, it will not work for every yoyo

is there another way to fix the yoyo vibe
You could bash it on the ground again and hope for the best.
Summary
Don’t do that, or do. I’m not your dad
what should i do if my offstring yoyo has a vibe
Tbh there isn’t really much else besides what’s in This thread besides like… getting a lathe and machining it
