I have an x-convict and whenever i throw it, it always will vibrate. i’m not sure if that’s a big deal or not, but it kind of bothers me when i play with it. i use a KK bearing. i sanded down the metal rims on a lathe to make them smoother, but i don’t think that is what is causing the vibrations, because it was like that out of the box. is there any way to deal with this?
on a side note, since i sanded down the rims, they tend to tarnish (not sure if that’s the right word…) easily. i tried to metal polish it, and it works for a bit but the tarnish comes back really fast. is there anything i can do to the rims to stop this, such as coating it with something??
I dont know about the rims but YYJ yoyos have this vide we call a YYJ vide and it happens with most YYJ yoyo. I dont think you can do anyhting about it. Plz correct me if I’m wrong.
Its probably what Shisaki said. The plastic in YYJ yoyos can be a little inconsistent, so some parts of the plastic can be heavier than the other, thus, vibe. There might be nothing you can do about it ???
And i have no idea how to solve the tarnish sorry, i just leave them grey.
I haven’t had a single YYJ have this problem as far as I know so I must just be lucky or something.
Anyway, if you want to, you could try putting something really light, like maybe a regular o-ring, on one side and then the other and tape it on as centered as you can get and see if that helps.
Hmmm… I have a DM, but I almost never have a vibe problem. Whenever I throw, it’s so smooth that the rims even reflect light like a mirror. :o
But I think it’s just practice. At first, my DM was vibrating a lot whenever I throw, messing up many of my tricks. Then after a while the vibrations stopped, and its spin became a lot smoother.
