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 ---

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 ---

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 ---
