http://ask.fm/Yoyofactoryfm/answer/125547576067 Ok, but how should I get the bearing and axle out?
We make a multitool or use a pair of plyers. Gently wiggle the bearing. If you squeeze it you break it.
Why do you want to take the axle out?

My shutters bearing and axle are extremely stuck in each side and it plays very very loud. It has been like this for a few months and I really like it but only play with it for a few minutes because the loudness gives me headaches. What can I do to fix it?
Clean the bearing. Bearings are light press fit, axles hand screw in.

So I'm very interested in the new Proto. I can't find much more info other than it being heavier. So is its play more like the nortstar now? And will the northstar be discontinued?
We had a big week this week. More news coming monday
What are the advantages of POM yoyos over aluminium in terms of playability, durability and anything else you can tell me?
POM
Small scratches can't be noticed.
Good 'feel' especially in cold weather
Metal
Harder
Stronger
Denser allowing superior weight distribution.

What about a 50mm space cowboy
Nice in theory. Just hard to make it commercially viable at a price people wouldn't be outraged with

Do you think Gentry might compete in offstring a little bit since he can do some offstring tricks?
Maybe!

im pretty curious, why are some yoyo string unbranded? like there must be a reason the manufacturer does not want to barand it yes?
Traditionally string had been viewed more as a commodity. There is plenty of branded string in the market, differentiated by either performance or labeling.

Maybe I was living under a rock, but where is Sterling? Is he taking a break to focus on other things or has he called it quits?
No idea. We offer sponsored players rewards, we seldom push them or tell them what to do. Sterling is hooked up when or if he wants back in. We let him do his thing. Yoyo sponsorship is nothing more than love. We have no expectations back. Certainly we'd love to see more Sterling too but it's his choice.
will the 7075/ss vashek yoyo only be available at the eyyc or will it be available at stores too?
Depends how production goes.

are you going to launch some new model under 50 bucks?
Yes.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the great options we have now at that price

We tend to only talk 1 model into the future at a time.... But yes there are 2 Vashek yoyos, both based on czm8, no names yet. First one, 7075/ss we hope to have at eyyc, so expect details soon

I think a bi-metal horizon would be like on of your most popular designs if that were to happen! SS rims on a horizon like on the Space Cowboy would be just amazing! What does the team think?
It would be an extreme yoyo. Horizon is already big and powerful. It sounds scary!

That "clear" anodize on the U.S.A. Shutter and Purple/Green/Clear Cyborg, is really close to looking "white." It would make a beautiful solid color. Would you consider making a solid clear yo-yo? It would be stunning on Shutter or Cypher especially.
The more silver on the YoYo the less white it actually looks

If you guys EVER release REGEN again, you guys should make a pulsar edition. Like the caps from the Pulsar ONEstar. So it will be like GENTRY STEIN x YOYOFACTORY 2015
Good idea, but it was a single run release. We have now sold through so what is in stores is it.
