SOLD: G2 Wraith (Fireblast, Glitch?) - SOLD

I have this beautiful Fireblast Wraith that I got on BST.

But it had vibe from the first time I threw it.

The previous owner said it was never dinged (and I believe him, since I don’t see any damage).

So, I think it must have been a glitch or something.

I’ve tried replacing the bearing a few times, but still cannot completely resolve the vibe.

Maybe one of you “yoyo-whisperers” can fix it.. but I can’t.

I would love to trade for another Wraith and I could add some cash to make it fair.

Colorways I’m interested in are Unicorn Storm, Unicorn Splash, Fireblast, and maybe some others.

Or I would take cash, starting it at $100 but open to offers.

I have some positive feedback here - Feedback for Spokalope

Cheers!

You can verify if it’s a glitch by looking at the bearing seat. If there is a drill mark in the bearing seat, it’s a glitch. Some G2 bimetal A grades may have a little vibe.

Yeah, look on the seat for a tiny dimple like this.

Interesting.. I’m not seeing that on either side.

So it must be an A grade.

But now I have no idea what’s causing the vibe! lol

Might has a bit of ring shift

Is that easy to see? And is it fixable?

Yeah sit the yoyo on a book or something, put another on top, and stand on it. I think that’s the way to fix.

It seems they may be susceptible to some shift in transit. I just sent a perfectly fine brass wraith to America and when it got there there was a 1mm gap between the body and rim! No idea why. Suspect it was due to temperature shifts.

Wow, I’ve never heard of that. Will try it though. Thanks for the tip!

I’d be iffy about putting my full weight on it right away, but I usually put my palms on it and push down real tight. Sometimes I just do it with my bare palm and you can go around and push and you feel it click into place… And if you want to know if it’s a glitch, unscrew it and look at the groove that the bearing goes into that’s right around the bearing seat. If it’s a glitch, they’ll be a little drill bit mark on each half in that area

Well, I tried everyone’s suggestions for fixing the possible ring drift.

But the vibe just doesn’t seem much better.

So, I’ll keep it listed here in case someone else wants to take a shot.

If I can’t find a trade, I’ll accept cash offers.

I understand nobody will pay full price lol.

Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions!
