I’m pretty sure you can’t. The Dif-E-Yo shims you see at other stores are designed for YoYoJam yo-yo’s.

You might not be able to use store-bought ones, but you can get shims on any yoyo. You might have to make them yourself though.

If the company suggested that you don’t i would follow that advise. I believe its due to the positing of the axle, its probably designed to have a certain amount of axle within the halves of the yoyo, adding shims could lead to the halves not holding properly (could fly apart if you know what i mean).
