Check to make sure the yoyo is properly tightened and not over-tightened. Make sure the bearing is in good working order. Has the yoyo taken any massive hits? I’m wondering about the axle. The knee-jerk response to check the caps is really the first thing to investigate. Try taking the caps out and see what happens. ---

Knee-jerk response: What people would usually jump to, however it sometimes means overlooking a known underlying cause. Fixing the symptom while not necessary addressing the underlying issue. Look it up, it’s a common term that’s been in use for a few hundred years. ---
