The threads aren’t gone because you hit the yoyo on the ground… ---

Your only choices are to have the yoyo re-tapped(which may still result in a vibey yoyo due to you whamming that hard into the ground you caused that much damage) or buying a replacement. I would say adjust your string length and try to play over carpets or lawns. I’d recommend this bit of advice to players at ALL levels of play. ---

If you are still at the point where you are slamming your Yo-yo to the ground, you aren’t ready for a 100 dollar yo-yo. ---
