I wouldn't necessarily say that there was a "problem" right out of the
box. Compound bows (archery) use a vibration damper to silence
vibrations after release, just the nature of the beast. It's easier to
add a lightweight "damper" than to make the part "beefier", which would
add significant weight. 

(Gee can you tell I have an engineering background?)
