If I get a nice tight bind and throw it spins fine but whenever I do any kind of cool binds, then I throw it and it vibrates like hell. ---

It sounds like the issue may be your throw. Bad binds can contribute to a bad throw. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Keep practicing and it should clear up. ---

Exactly. If it’s only an issue on a bad bind, just keep playing. If there’s an issue with the yoyo you’ll experience it consistently. Keep it up and feel free to reach out with any questions ---

Maybe that isn’t vibe at all? Do you hit the ground a lot? Maybe your yo-yo is just shaking because it’s afraid of you? ---

Yes, I’ve noticed that as well. If the string is wound sloppy, even a straight throw will vibrate. And actually that vibe can cause a messy wind on the return. I’ll sometimes use a fingernail to smooth out a bad/vibey throw so the bind/wind will be cleaner for the next toss. ---

I use my finger (like a grind) or carpet on my cheaper yo-yos… just a little touch smooths it out. I hope that isn’t bad advice… ---
