Have you encounter any problems? (Striped, Stock bearing etc.)

And another, What is the cause when the yo-yo is Bent?

No problems besides pad replacement.

The cause of when an axle is bent, which i what I assumed you meant, is the yoyo will vibe or wobble.

i used to hot glue the insides of my speed beetle to make it heavier and improve spin time…and like samad said, the pads are a hassle…

as for your second question,  
bent? or do you mean dinged, it depends if its beat up, it will cause major problems such as vibe, snags, and if its a metal yoyo you can get cut from metal burrs. If its only scratches here and there, there is no worry, performance wise…
