How important is grain direction on wooden yoyos? Should I always try to get it parallel with the axle? ---
**Author:** ![Eric\_Newlin](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/user_avatar/forums.yoyoexpert.com/eric_newlin/32/598950_2.png) [@Eric\_Newlin](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/u/Eric_Newlin)\ **Post date:** [December 1, 2022, 1:27pm UTC](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/show-some-wooden-yoyos-youve-made/84381/1865 "2022-12-01T13:27:24Z")
The grain direction can impact response. If the grain is parallel to the axle (so end grain is exposed near the axle), it will create more responsiveness. The Legend Wing and TMBR wood-thread axles have end grain oriented like this. The friction of the end grain becomes the response system. The long grain side is less responsive, which is why, for example, I use response holes near the axle. Either way, it’s usually important to orient the halves of your yoyo so the grain pattern is a mirror reflection on both sides. This helps reduce wobble and vibe because the weight is more likely to be distributed evenly. Here’s an example: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/a/b/7abce2957907910435ebd3f7c2b0411cf7aec4e5.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/show-some-wooden-yoyos-youve-made/84381.md?page=90) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/show-some-wooden-yoyos-youve-made/84381.md?page=92)
