> [@hobbygod](#): > > you all dont unscrew your throws? > [/URL] Knot if I can help it. Bearings fall out, strings slip off, bearings get exposed to dirt in the air, and it takes longer. With the numberof new tricks I’m trying on any given day, and the amount that I miss (a lot) and end up in some weird slipknot/twist, its easiest and fastest to just pull out my pick and tease it right out. Its also less wear on the axle/hub threads. Also I’m a weirdo who likes to have a tools like a [yoyo string pick](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,92641.0.html) just for the satisfaction of having a right tool for the job. 🙂 Though, sometimes the wrong for tool for the job can be satisfying too: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/8/d/d8d70c4b22ee219afd2b46512813e9d7564cdcb0.jpeg) ---

> [@hobbygod](#): > > you all dont unscrew your throws? It’s safer to just quickly pick out the knot rather than unscrew the yoyo. Every time you unscrew a yoyo there’s a chance you’ll lose parts and/or expose parts to dirt. And if you’re really in a hurry and not careful, there’s a chance you can cross thread your yoyo, eventually stripping the threads. ---
