The loop at the end of the string where it is supposed to go around the bearing keeps getting stuck between the yoyo and the bearing when I am doing tricks. Why is this happening and how can I fix this? ---

Check the bearing it may have been loosened off its seat. ---

This happens sometimes with YYJ yoyos. You might wanna get an exchange if you just bought it new. The bearing seat might have worn near the rim allowing string to just slip right through. How tight is your gap? You might be playing with the gap way too wide. ---

is it sticking onto the starburst side? if so, then take it out, flip it around, and place it on the starburst side. note: u may have to use pliers to get it out. Hope this helps ;D ---

Just push in the bearing. If it clicks and pushes in, then the bearing was loose and now you’re set. ---

Is there anything I can do to fix it other than buying another yo yo? It gets stuck even when I push it down until it clicks and sometimes when I am doing tricks the bearing gets loose from the seat and gets stuck on the side with the o-ring. ---

Im using the normal stock bearing that came with it. Would a kk bearing help because then the string would be in the middle of the bearing and it wont be at the sides and get stuck? ---
