Not all plastics have vibe, and you should not be saying that they do. Maybe you should work on your throw. Every plastic I have tried has vibe. From YYF or not. But every YYF plastic has vibe then. ---

Definately DO NOT take it apart. you will not like the results. Just my 2cents. so does that mean you cant take it apart even for siliconing or putting a new bearing in? ---

> [@Yummy](#): > > That last part is a false generalization. It’s a fact of life that an injection molded plastic part is going to have much looser tolerances than a machined part, no matter whether the machined part is plastic or metal. Injection molded plastic yo-yos are by nature going to be imperfect. The only variable is how imperfect it is. Some will have next to no imperfections and can be dead smooth. This is as close as it gets to the real answer. Manufacturing tolerances along with materials used and quality controls combine with a design. Add it all up and you have more or less problems with a product. Precision machined products will have less initial variation from one piece to another than molded pieces. Because of that the CNC’d article will have fewer issues if the design and materials don’t have issues of themselves. However machining costs significantly more than molding in most cases and thus to get a good throw for less plastics are almost always molded so they can be sold at a lower cost. Now I know that YYF has a number of great throws so obviously their bringing some quality product to the market. However they are making small batches of their plastics from a manufacturing standpoint at least. Those doing the actual manufacturing for YYF may be having a hard time making the yoyos as well as YYF wants them. The first run of a product sometimes has issues that a later run does not…take the Protostar for example. Didn’t it have some issue as well that the second run didn’t have? I know mine (2nd run yellow) can vibrate like no ones business when I throw it bad. But It is smooth as silk when I throw it well. I am glad that I have it as it is my favorite plastic at this point… ---
