Just a friendly suggestion - if you ever get a damaged yoyo in the future, it is well within your right to contact the seller or trader for either a refund or a replacement.
Then why did you not contact the seller and get a replacement before satining it anyway? If it wasn’t that big of a deal then why complain about it and make a thread entitled “FHZ - not too impressed.”? Also, replace the sticker(s) with sili sticker(s). As for the issue where your string slips between the bearing and spacer, pull out one of the gold ones and replace it with a silver one, that is how I have to do it for my FHZ, plays like a dream.
So, rather than be a whiny brat, clean your bearing, replace the response, and swap one spacer, then if it doesn’t play unresponsive well, THEN complain, and try not to make it about something that you could have fixed but didn’t. For knowing so much about yoyos you sure don’t make very good decisions… Just sayin’
I think the title should be changed to Defective FHZ, and also it’s not really a review, more of an opinion.
You mention nothing about how it plays, other then how responsive it is, and if you’ve ever gotten a duncan with a bearing you should know they come packed with lube and could use a good cleaning. I see no information about spin times, feel, shape, weight etc. the very backbones of a yoyo review.
The chip easily could have been fixed with an email, no matter how anxious you were to satin something. What’s the point if it’s an already defective product am I right?
It seems like you put little to no effort to remedy the situation, and instead of keeping your bad experience to yourself, or share it with the proper authoritative figure, you made a “review.” But hey, you satined that FHZ. That’s an accomplishment
