Just got my superstar its my first yyf metal and it was great but after a while it started vibing a lot. I can see the string vibrating. Is this normal??? or is the bearing just crooked or something? Was looking online and just saw it however i cant remove the bearing with the multi tool or pliers lol. Any help? ---

Is it tightened? What about the hubstacks? If you hit it on the ground a lot The axle could be crooked Or the bearing could be bad or needs a cleaning ---

Actually got the superstar champions collection so it has hubs. It doesnt have any dings and i never hit it on the ground so im assuming its the bearing however it is hard to unscrew and screw the the yoyo. ---

> [@mingfu](#): > > Actually got the superstar champions collection so it has hubs. It doesnt have any dings and i never hit it on the ground so im assuming its the bearing however it is hard to unscrew and screw the the yoyo. I’ve played a few Superstars and I even own one. Other than the one guy who had some bad stack bearings that caused the Z-stacks to be kind wierd and make the whole yoyo vibe a teeny bit more as a result, they’ve all been what I’d consider smooth. Without the stacks on the Champions Edition(it has the posts, you can add them), we have to look elsewhere. Your throw? Bearig breaking in? I’d keep playing it and see if this fixes itself. You are going to need a bearing puling tool at some point, so start considering what you want to do about that. ---

Had problems with the one I had. The bearing seat was was large so it wouldn’t unscrew without a ton of force. Might be something with your bearing seat ---

Yes the problem i had was since the seat was so tight the bearing was not going in flat. It was always stuck at an angle ---

Not sure why everyone’s jumping to bearing seat issues when he clearly says it was fine and only started vibing recently. Obviously it’s a dirty bearing. Anything to bash YYF though, right? ---
