Reply to Is it normal that my needle skips quite often when I scratch faster w/ my turntable?

I don't push down on the turntable with all my force or anything, but when I scratch faster I tend to push down a bit harder than usual, and that causes my needle to skip and playback a few miliseconds than intended.

Any way I can fix this? Should I set my tone arm heavier when scratching on my timecoded vinyl records? I already have butter rugz and some pretty good slipmats, so I don't know what else I can improve.

For the record, I have a pair of Stanton STR8-80 turntables, and the tone arm is REALLY light weight, the thing is made out of light aluminum.

Could also a problem be the turntable stylus itself? The ones I have are used (by a previous owner) and I don't know for how long, but they don't cause any crackling noise or overpowered bass or anything.

Thanks! I can post a video to show what I mean if needed, I just want to resolve this issue.
