I would contact whomever you received the yoyo from, in a metal yoyo I cant see a reason that this would be happening unless The bearing wasn’t seating properly. So, I would contact the retailer you bought it from and explain your situation.

Are you screwing the yoyo all the way together? Make sure you are.

Some yoyos come with pre-shimmed gaps. Take it apart and make sure there isn’t anything in the seat or axle holes.
