Need advice on throw

just getting into throwing and noticed i get a lot of vibe on my yoyo when i throw from the side

initially thought it was my yoyo but since i was throwing an old dv888 but recently upgraded to an atmos polaris but still having the same issue

is this normal or anyone have advice?

If you just recently got into throwing, chances are it’s because you just gotta tweak how you’re throwing. A bad throw will result in some vibe. But don’t be so hard on yourself. I’ve been throwing for almost two years and I still have a vibey throw sometimes. Just gotta keep practicing, that’s all! :grin:

It is normal and will clean up in time. Throwing a good breakaway is for sure a skill that takes a bit to develop. There’s a vid that gets reposted regularly that focuses on this, someone will likely share it

Edit: I’ll be the someone

I don’t know what your string your using but the kickback can be the issue to why you sense a vibe. I have some string that is super elastic that will absorb the kickback but I can’t identify the source. I believe it’s 100% polyester that has a more elastic stretchy feel. I tested the same string on different types of throws an notice no vibes just pure smoothness. You have to match the right string to see the characteristics of the yoyo change..
