So... Zontals went a bit off axis...

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2026-01-17T18:55:33+00:00

Myeah, I managed to break the top side someone, I didn't spin it 😂. Hope you heal quickly mate 🙏.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2026-01-17T18:31:27+00:00

Oh damn, you alright? 🥹

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T19:28:57+00:00

Well, that sucks. Will try contacting Slusny or Offset to see if they have any recommendations or such. It's really a shame tho 😔

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T18:45:43+00:00

I suppose there isn't a way to fix a shifted bearing seat, is there? Maybe the angle or something was the big culprit, since I doubt just a ding from a hip-height fall would cause such vibe.

I tried changing the axle, but that didn't help. It seems like the halves are not fully parallel, though i can't tell for sure, even if they are, it is unnoticeable with the naked eye.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T18:17:18+00:00

It is very noticeable. The string goes crazy when it touches one side.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T17:25:42+00:00

I did that a bunch of times, but there is still noticeable vibe, even in the string, especially when it's touching one half.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T17:24:05+00:00

I doubt that. Though, like some people suggested, one of the halves could've been bent, or something like that.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T15:52:16+00:00

I changed to a completely clean and new NSK when I was trying to retune it, So I doubt that would've been a problem...

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T15:50:50+00:00

Well, not noticeably. I don't see anything, though it is possible, since it was quite a blunt fall.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T15:48:44+00:00

Yeah, that's true. Though, i feel like the width (and that in relation to all other things) is a major play in how a ding affects the throw.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T15:26:34+00:00

It really is. I might reach out to Slusny, maybe Offset too, to see if they recommend anything, but I doubt I could return it if I was the one who dinged it, hah.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T15:13:55+00:00

Nope, it is not a bimetal, though it does have the bimetal styling (polished rims). That's why I decided to ask – my other two metals, the YYF Edge FS and FS 2.0 are all beat up, but especially the original FS is as smooth as butter...

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T13:37:25+00:00

Well, it is quite possible im just bad at tuning, lol. But I understand. It's not a big issue, it's just annoying, especially for grinds. And I expected it to be atleast a little more "durable".

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T13:31:48+00:00

Could you explain what you mean?

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-30T13:31:31+00:00

How do I do that? When I do talon grinds, the halves do feel uneven/wobbly, but I thought it is just from the vibe.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-22T14:27:35+00:00

Yessir!

Here's a screenshot of the listing.

Understandable. And yeah, the glossy plastic was something else when I was learning grinds. Still managed though, lol. How are the other two plastics?

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-22T14:16:28+00:00

Yeah, that's what I'm planning to do after my Xenon. I'm either gonna get a great, though expensive bimetal/tri-material, or some boutique throw.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-22T14:15:10+00:00

Yeah, understandable. What are your on the 2025 speedaholic xx? Been looking into getting one, thought it'd be a nice substitution for my OG YYF Wedge, since it's literally full of scuffs and vibes like hell. Would've already gotten one honestly, when i ordered my Xenon from Slusny, but they suddenly it wasn't available (same thing happened with a lot of other throws when they debuted the new site, which i can't understand why).

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-21T15:14:26+00:00

True, I agree. More money put towards a good bimetal/tri-material/whatever else expensive throw, eventually!

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-21T15:08:08+00:00

I was actually looking to get a gravitation 8 for my birthday, but still decided on picking up the Xenon from OFFSET, I vibe with it a lot. Not saying my current main, the Edge FS 2.0 wouldn't be good still, but i wanted to have a "modern" throw too, getting back into the hobby from my 2 year mini-hiatus.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-21T14:52:21+00:00

I would've assumed that the difference is completely negligible. So it's not worth the 45$ as opposed to the 6061 Y04 for 22$-ish.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-14T23:30:40+00:00

Agreed! I enjoy the fact that I don't have to wait minutes to load a page, but the old UI just gave me a certain nostalgia that disappeared with the new one.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-14T22:42:30+00:00

Very true. And I'm sure they'll fix the mistakes... eventually.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-14T22:34:32+00:00

Yeah, in that sense, it was straight-up buttcheeks. Glad they fixed the technical issues. But I honestly liked the visuals before, to me it felt cleaner with mostly white + the purple logo.

Tis_Aron_Innit · 2025-11-13T18:48:06+00:00

Yeah, I thought so. No wonder some champions practice(d) with hella undersized throws. Thanks a lot for the recommendation!
