string #2 broke within 10-15 throws. I can now confirm it is a knick in the axle. I guess I’m also wondering why the area for the string wouldn’t be as polished as the areas the seat into the yoyo. You can definitely see the machine marks under an eye look.

i believe the tool marks are intentional for response but not meant to be so sharp as to cut strings…

the starburst is the response, the machine marks are from poor machining/processing after machining.

Somehow i dont think that using a strip of denim to smooth the area is gonna work.
Is this only on pinks, or is this issue across other colors as well?

The string cutters seem to be Pinks, Reds, and Blues. Haven’t seen any reports of Purples or Psychs cutting them and I have a few hours of play with each.

Looks to me that the polished one is the outer portion of the material, which then they cut the grooves on but the machining is not smooth enough.
Maybe smooth them out by chucking on a drill and then a little bit of sanding?

DOMESTIC & INTERNATIONAL: Here’s the link to request one of the pink Butterfly’s I have hoarded. Shipped in a bag. Cost is just cost, no profit for me (might take a loss actually, since I have to buy shipping bags). First come first served. I will close the survey once they are all spoken for and reach out if you submitted but missed it. Please make sure you cannot get one at YOUR Target before submitting, as I want to make sure people who actually CANNOT get one have a chance, not just you lazy sods who don’t want to drive 20 minutes.
Edit: No more shipping out!
