Some Creams might need tuning to acheive perfect smoothness.

I suggest tuning it if it isn’t as smooth as you want it to be.

You can simply wrap the axle in teflon tape, or take it out completely and put it back in a way that satisfies you.

so tuning is just taking out the axle and screwing it back on?

Tuning will not mess it up at all.

Tuning a Cream is quite simple.

You want to screw the yoyo, wind it, and do the finger test to see if it is smooth. If its not, try screwing it tighter, if the vibe is worse, unscrew it a bit, then do that until its perfectly smooth.
