Yeah, I bought my Wedge from YYE a couple of weeks back. I made a video showing the vibe and linked to it in another thread:

The thing is I don’t have much trouble getting my metals to spin with almost imperceptible vibe, nearly all of which is certainly due to my less-than-perfect throwing mechanics. However, I am _never_ able to throw down my Wedge without getting the oscillating vibration as shown in the video I posted.

I should also add that touching a finger to the gap of the Wedge as it spins has, in my tests, had no meaningful effect on the vibe.
