Today I was practicing 5A with my Duncan Counterpunch when I had accidentally dropped it, afterwards I was practicing ghost bind when it came back up and it continues to play responsive. Can anybody help and thank you in advance ---

Hi Sebastian, Please check the bearing if it’s clean, it can easily absorb dusts. It’s funny to think, but there are times where I dropped my yo-yo on the ground - I can see a piece of hair wrapped around the bearing. ---

Does the bearing spin freely when you flick it with your finger? Did a response pad break loose? Maybe if you give the bearing a quick clean, and tit y again? ---

Check that the bearing seat didn’t get damaged or that the axle didn’t get bent when you dropped it. ---

So did you use the correct screw threads in the new axle? Since it is now stuck I would use a pliers to carefully unscrew it so as not to screw the threads up more than they are. ---
