Just bought 8. Insert “A” sized center trac… Completely unresponsive and returns with a bind. Landing a Brent stole on a dollar yoyo, priceless. ---

> [@crococorey](#): > > I tried putting play dough in the fold of the inner ring to add weight. It worked great and spun much longer, until it got released and started shooting out in little bits. I have a ton more play dough, so how should i do it to keep it in? Should i, like, pack it in, wait for it to dry out or something, then try? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Use modeling clay. It’s denser and heavier. Some can be baked, so that should keep it in place permanently. But if you want to use play dough, yes, let it dry out first. ---

> [@Coffelt](#): > > Now I just need to make it not eat the string in between the goofy SPR like things and the bearing. > > If you thought thumb grinds were bad on an RSL or BBYY. If you switched out the bearing, it is a tad smaller and leaves room for the string to get in there. You may want to try taking a pair of pliers to tighten the plastic hubs, or switch back to the original bearing, lube it, sand down the starburst response a bit, and play it that way instead. The string eating problem will not happen with the original bearing. ---

> [@TotalArtist](#): > > You might have a defective $1 yo-yo…return it! 😃 No doubt I fully agree with you. But I wouldn’t drag it all the way back to the Store. I would mail it back by priority with insurance/tracking. And I would throw in a few bucks for handling and processing the return. And I would brace myself for sad tidings in case tragedy struck and the package got lost in transit. Or just put it up on the BST. State that it is almost minty mint. And except for the damage it is good as New. And I would say I really bonded with this yo-yo and it will be very hard to get off me. Offer big. ---

Just to say, I “modded” my throw which cut down on some vibe (I think). What I did was put hot glue in one of the bolts, then quickly screw it in. It seemed to help a bit, but it’s still a $1 yoyo, haha ---
