Hi everyone, I received a Northstar a couple days ago and was just wondering about the arrows printed on the yoyo. I know they are to prevent overtightening, but the yoyo comes stock with the arrows perfectly aligned. I unscrewed the yoyo, and screwed it back and it became extremely hard to turn the arrows back so they would be perfectly aligned again. I stopped at about half an inch (the arrows are about half an inch away from each other), but now it seems the yoyo has a slight vibe ( I really dont remember if it had any when i opened it). So my question is: should i try to realign the arrows? Thanks.

-Matt

I would. If it breaks tell YYF what happened. simple as that. They are the ones that gave you those arrows to align it by. It would be there fault if something happens.

I"ll go to say that the arrows were a good idea but wasn’t thought through far enough to see what would happen.
