You can modify the first post with the “modify” button.

Odds are the yoyo isnt tuned.

What happens if you try to smooth the yoyo out with your fingernail?

These yoyos don’t lend them selfs well to a bad throw. does it vibe when you do the finger test?  
Also when you say vibe is it something you can feel on the string? or maybe something you can see? Explain the vibe a bit better.  
I find taking the axle out and seating it in the opposite side of the yoyo sometimes helps when you have a yoyo that vibes, with hubs like yoyofactorys.  
Also not as offten but have had good results in fliping the bearing over. Normaly in those case’s you can assume there is something not right with the bearing. The inside diamiter might be off a bit, or possibly have a bit of metal on it.  
Check the bearing seat sometimes there is some dirt, or metal from various production steps. if you find some remove it and see how the yoyo works then…  
Good luck.
