I've done this and had my glasses save me many times. I've gave myself a black eye, broken windows, knocked drinks everywhere.... didn't realize how dangerous this toy is LMAO
First time finding this channel. Incredible, thorough review! You have some serious skill as well. At the risk of sounding cliché, you're criminally underrated. New sub!
Wow, the quality of your yoyo reviews are outstanding and very unbiased. This is rare as very few other reviewers of yoyos go to this extent and into this level of detail. The videos are well executed and the discussed content format is great. Well done... Keep it up. You've got a new sub! Warmest Regards 🇿🇦
This video provoked a thought for me. I used the following method on a Vulfgang and cured a really nasty pulse vibe. Take a good pair of vernier calipers, ones that can reliably measure down to around 10 microns. Measure the width of the yo-yo around different points of the circumference. If you find a point that is definitely wider then check the corresponding width on the opposite side to see if it is a little less wide than the other points on the circumference. If you find this, then there is obviously a slight buckle in the yo-yo. I marked the widest point with a Sharpie marker and then used a vice to GENTLY compress this point. I was lucky and got the exact pressure needed to make the circumference consistent around the entire edge on my first attempt. Once this was achieved - NO MORE PULSE VIBE!!! 🙂 You may need to measure and compress several times but don't go in there like a brute: take it in small steps until you manage to get a consistent width. I hope this will be helpful to others out there.
The big trick from back in the day that caused me the most friendly fire was UFO lol. I eventually just stopped trying to get it. But I finally did not too long ago haha. Only 35+years later!
Good video! But there are other ways to actually improve on the vibe, like changing axle positions or even changing the axle out along with the bearing swap. Also if the previous owner has dinged it before and it's got a flatspot, pretty sure the vibe at the rims can't be totally removed because of the damage
Excellent video. Didn't know about the tool to fix ring alignment/fit - adding to my toolbox. Question: do you recommend using plumber's tape on the axle for a more secure fit to reduce vibe, or should we stay away from it?
Thanks. In my experience a loose or fit axle has nothing to do with vibe. The moment the yoyo is put together, the axle is trapped in place unable to move anyway.
