Honestly, I've owned give or take 200-300 FHZs in my life, and I've never seemed to tune one or need to tune one, but I know how, pop those caps off, and rotate the axle and try it, and repeat, should make it smoother but not by much but noticeable enough for people to do it..

To tune a FHZ all you need to do is this:

1)Take off the cap on the bolt side

2) Then, throw the yo-yo and gently touch your finger to it. How much does it vibe after this?

3) Take the yo-yo apart being careful to not let the bolt come out of its seat.

4) Notice how these hexagons line up. Imagine the inner red hexagon to be the bolt head and the outer blue hexagon to be the place it sits in the yo-yo.



5) What you want to do is rotate the bolt one notch clockwise. When you do that the faces of the two hexagons will line up like this:



Does that make sense? Yes? Good.

6) Screw the yo-yo together.

Repeat steps 2-6 until the yo-yo gets smoother. You will notice there is a point where the yo-yo is pretty smooth then you rotate the bolt one more time and it is less smooth. Stop, and rotate the bolt back to where it was before. That is the smoothest point.

please excuse my ignorance... but how exactly does this change anything???

[mrcnja]

It changes how the halves align to each other.

That's the truth. People nowadays is too much worried about wooble...

[drumma/yoyo]

Wobble is bad, vibe is fine.

Haha. A stock Zero does NOT "wobble" enough to make any real difference. Tune your Freehand Zero all you want, it won't play any better than if you just screw the thing together.

Someone hasn't played a Freehand Vader.

I've owned three.
"Smoothness" does not make a yoyo.
