Hey guys, I have a YYF Yuuksta that I had for about 4 weeks now. When I threw it down in the past it was fine. But when I throw it down now, the yoyo vibrates the string. Do you guys have any tips on how to make it better?

> Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflon tape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. Thread seal tape lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, and it helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed.
