This has happened to me with two different yo-yos, a yo-yo factory “sage” and a “wedge”. The bearing is fine, but you’ve damaged the bearing seat and will have to buy another Yoyo. As someone else here said this often happens because you’ve tightened it too much. There’s is also a popular misconception about the tighten arrows which is that you’re supposed to tighten the Yoyo till the arrows match. This is wrong. You are supposed to tighten the Yoyo until it’s tight, but never go past the arrows, that means it often is tight enough before the arrows meet. I’d say buy another replay pro, it dings fine so you don’t have to worry about that. And follow my advice on the tightening. (I got it via merchandise correspondence).
Good luck

My turn
Anyone know what string gentry stein used with the replay pro when he won nationals?
I can’t say with 100% certainty, but, I seem to remember reading somewhere that he picked a Replay Pro from the YYF table, popped it out of the box, and put on a Kitty string
Also I read that originally replay pros don’t come with CT bearings and he put one in the one he competed with. So that is another change he made if yours didn’t cone with a CT bearing.
It did… I just wonder about the string. Strings seem to change the entire feel of the Yoyo. And recently I have to replace my response pads but I don’t have his type.
