see, at a YoYo you have two spinning masses connected through an axle. now when these masses are not totally even or uneven distributed the rotational axis is not where the physical axle is. this causes the spinning yoyo to vibrate. the more uneven the mass is the higher gets the vibration. also see wiki, totally basic princip > **[Rotating unbalance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_unbalance)** > > Rotating unbalance is the uneven distribution of mass around an axis of rotation. A rotating mass, or rotor, is said to be out of balance when its center of mass (inertia axis) is out of alignment with the center of rotation (geometric axis). Unbalance causes a moment which gives the rotor a wobbling movement characteristic of vibration of rotating structures. > A static balance (sometimes called a force balance) occurs when the inertial axis of a rotating mass is displaced from and parallel to th... ---

When you throw down a yoyo it usually vibrates a little, until you start doing tricks with it (Iā€™d say grinds in particular kill this vibe quickly). That is ā€œthrow vibeā€. Then thereā€™s the other kind of vibe, one wich doesnā€™t disappear, thatā€™s the vibe you are seeing in bst. Dings are the main cause of vibe (if it was not vibey when new) because of what leop999 said. Dirty or damaged bearings can also cause it, but thatā€™s easier to fix. ---

> [@Odercra](#): > > Dings are the main cause of vibeā€¦ A ding does not necessarily cause vibe unless the ding was caused by slamming the yoyo into something hard enough to bend the axle or damage the bearing seat. ---

Dirty or damaged bearings can also cause it, but thatā€™s easier to fix. The first kind of vibe he is describing is wobble (from a poor throw, has nothing to do with the yoyo), vibe is a vibration you can feel if you touch the yoyo, or a vibration you can feel through the string while doing tricks. Most of the time itā€™s more of an annoyance than anything. Wobble is a different story, I find wobble pretty bothersome.
