Mine skipped on the same day as well. But that's easily remedied by taking it apart, forcing the prongs off, and putting a layer of tape over the inner cog.
Now mine works perfect, and has been since release

Too bad that's illegal... If you want to prevent skipping for tournament use you're gonna have to take it apart and replace the white piece on the inside of the prong with one from a light launcher or beylauncher that's never been used.

I would make a tutorial on this but I think I can explain it, so once you take it apart when you see the under side of the prong make sure to put the new white piece into the two bigger gaps of the prong, this prevents the white piece from moving as much on the inside of the prong which will neglect wear better than putting the white piece anywhere else into the prong.

@[Wombat] Weird mate. It's never skipped for me. I used it a lot on Saturday and my launches were all fine with it. I'll try it out on my own and report back on it.
