I thought that video had what I meant to post. This is what I meant to check for vibe. > [@What is yo-yo vibe and how do I test for it?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-is-yo-yo-vibe-and-how-do-i-test-for-it/291714/1): > > ### Testing for vibe > > 1. Throw a hard sleeper > 2. Place your fingernail [on the rim](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/loaded-yoyos-how-to-test-for-vibe/42094), or in the gap > 3.

I personally like to hold my fingernail in the gap so it smooths out any “fake vibe” from my crappy throws, like so: > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/d/a/ada12aafbd23afe370f94b95ae0cc1efe50f7abd.jpeg) > > 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/help-viby-aoe/391826)._
