Hello! I’ve only been in the yoyo community for around 3ish years, so keen to understand what your main pet peeves are? Is it something about the community, specific tricks, or something about yoyo shops… Keen to get your experiences. Mine is the lack of quality stores that operate in the UK, with very limited stock. ---

Making a commitment to pare down my collection, succeed, then accumulate overstock once again. ---

Snaggy response. I hear a lot people asking for more grip and thicker strings, and I HATE have to deal with everything being so grippy. Particularly pads, finally found OT pink pads which work great and give me just enough response, but everything else is just 🤮 ---

Someone (BST) or a yoyo company provides a loose axle packaged with yoyo in a jewel bag, but not secured or wrapped and that scratches the ano in shipping. ---

Yoyo peeves of mine - when my string somehow unwinds in my pocket and knots up without realizing…go to give the yoyo a throw hastily and knuckle buster…folks, take the extra few seconds and do a pre-inspection before you go full throttle with your throw! Screaming bearings on a brand new throw - this almost consistently happens with me regardless of manufacturer. I’m not normally one to want to complain and have to go through the whole hoopla of sending something back over a “defective bearing” and will just take the extra effort to give it a quick clean…and I’m set! Still annoying though especially if you’re out and you don’t exactly have your cleaning tools on hand. > [@ryanmcg](#): > > Keeping up with new releases… I used to keep up with new releases and sort of just fell off the wayside. My interests have changed over time and basically these days go after something that’s a nod to old school/mid school era or something quite unique or small. ---

Dude the bearing thing i totally get. I’ve been getting so frustrated when you get a new throw and after a minute of fun it’s just “SCREEEEEEECH” and you have to clean it. It’s not just you that’s for sure. I almost wonder if bearing qualities have been going down or I’m just getting more picky. ---

Sometimes when i think i had a clean bind, only to find the yoyo flailing immediately back up which may or may not hit a bodily organ or two. I also get peeved when my pads start getting slippy and my tube of silicone has predictably dried up already. And the rather sad fact that we don’t get many yoyos today in the 48-51mm range [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-is-your-biggest-yoyo-pet-peeve/356888.md?page=2)
