When ever my DM sleeps, it will always turn to the right when sleeping. Is this normal for a 1 month old DM?

Does it tilt, or rotate, if it rotates its fine it does that because of the spinning force. If it tilts its your throw.

Work on making your throw straighter and stronger. That should fix you right up. The YYE videos here on the site are fantastic if you need help.

My DM does that sometimes when the caps are on. But that might be the throw also. Try taking off the caps and giving it a try. If it does the same thing, just adjust your throw.

I have the same problem with my velocity except that it tilts to the left so far the only thing i’ve been able to do to make it better is to not throw as hard then I don’t have very much sleep time.

All yoyos tilt after 1 or 2 minutes of sleeping. I beleive its the string because if you untwist the string while its sleeping, it straightens out. If it tilts as soon as you throw it, then you can blame your throw.
