hello everyone, I am using a yoyojam speeder which has a O-ring and starburst response system(before I loved my yoyo because it was unresponsive and i could do wicked tricks)and I recently changed the string but the string was kindda fat and now my yoyo is responsive which means i cannot do any tricks right and also the string always touches the O-ring and my yoyo spins for a bit now…how do I improve it??? ---

What kind of string are you using? You just have to break into the string. Just play for a while, and eventually you will wear into the string and it will become thinner. ---

If the string is rubbing against the response, make sure the gap is as wide as possible. But I really think that you’ve done that already. Addment: If you keep the string centered with the widest gap possible you need about 2-2.5 mm thick string to rub the response. What kind of string have you gotten? ---

Can you answer my question on what type of string you have? Anyway, you just untwist the yoyo a bit. Make sure that you screw in the yoyo before putting on the string. ---
