Check out the mod section that might help, but if the yoyo is new then you might just want to break the bearing in,

erm, when you throw try really snapping your wrist to get as much power as possible,

hope I helped

Work on throwing straighter and stronger. That’s it.

You can go to a department store and pick up o rings that fit in the inside of the caps so it will have better rim weight.

1. use KonKave or Center Trac bearing
2. try straightening your throw make the string as centered in the bearing as possible
3. if it tilts try tapping the yoyo lightly( i reached 4:52 with KK by doing that)
4. try producing a strong throw ( snap your wrist as hard as you can)
5. hope i helped 🙂

Throw it harder.

Of course with a reasonable force (you don’t want to look like you’re trying to smash bricks).
