grass should be ok, but don’t use it over a part of your yard that has a ton of dirt, if you do use it over dirt, and accidentally hit it on the ground, you might get dirt in your bearing. ---

With side effects, you can change weight distribution (amount of rim vs Center weight). Also, if you manage to strip a side effect, no big deal. You can buy a new set for $12 (vs needing to retap a regular axle yoyo to a bigger size axle). You can also alter the look of the yoyo to suit your mood - there are many shapes & colors to choose from). ---

If a yoyo gets Stripped, it usually means the axle seat, and/or the axle got stripped of it’s threads, if you strip a yoyo, and the bearing seat is messed up, you nstripped it _bad_. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/side-effects/313432.md?page=2)
