HELP: Viby AoE

[Yooo (bryan)]

I thought that video had what I meant to post. This is what I meant to check for vibe.

Testing for vibe

1. Throw a hard sleeper
2. Place your fingernail on the rim , or in the gap
3. Let the yo-yo stabilize for 2-3 seconds against your fingernail

If there is significant vibe you will feel it (and hear it) on your fingernail. I personally like to hold my fingernail in the gap so it smooths out any “fake vibe” from my crappy throws, like so:

with your fingernail held in the gap for a few seconds after a hard throw …

• On a really smooth yo-yo, you will feel no vibration at all – it’s like an air hockey puck sliding across a perfectly smooth gap of air on an air hockey table. Ahhhh
• On a vibey yo-yo, the metal in the gap will never fully stabilize against your fingernail – it’ll bounce and shake around and never rest smoothly against your nail, instead clanging against it constantly.

The part about letting it stabilize for 2-3 seconds with your thumb against the gap is the important part that takes the vibe from your throw out.
