Once upon a time, YYJ made a yoyo called the Black Knight. It was a hybrid response, one side star burst, the other o-ring. I really disliked the star burst and traded it to another guy for his o-ring half. I am now the proud owner of probably the only full o-ring Black Knight.

The moonshine 2.0 is kinda like that too. Intentionally mismatched response sides.

I half swapped a metal skyva and a reggae skyva just to see. Some wobble but not as bad as you would think.

Can half swapping yoyo cause vibe?

most likely not but some times yes it just depends on each side of the throw

I only traded the cups of a yoyo once in my life … doing the exact opposite of what you did. :grin:
Riccardo Fraolini and I purchased two YYF Skyline european edition (gold cup / blue cup) to make two … solid! :joy:
One gold, his and one blue, mine, which after so many vicissitudes today is so …

what’s the throw on the far left?

Wow the ano removed is intense. Never seen anything like this before

It’s a YoYoBrothers Voyage. It’s a criminally underrated throw, should deserve more love.

It mostly depends on the bearing seat. If it’s way too tight, when you first unscrew the yoyo it will cause some vibe and hence half swapping will induce vibe. But if it’s like one drop’s just perfect bearing seat, it likely wouldn’t induce any vibe at all

Both One Drops I’ve owned have had vibe. Don’t understand their claim of no vibe. Also don’t care about vibe.
