Well, don’t say one is better than the other. They will both do their job. ---

10 ball is much smoother than a konkave and because of the konkave’s string centering capability it’s easier to snag the yoyo. Plus 10 ball is cheaper. ---

lol o have never heard of a silicone beating, do you mean ceramic? and also why are you getting a new bearing? cause you want your throw to be smoother/play differently or because you think it will make you better? ---

Sorry about that I was just online looking at the bearing online when I noticed that. :-[ Yes I think that with a better bearing installed the yoyo will spin better. ;D ---

Just get the 10 ball, it’s the smoothest bearing out there. ---

It would seem to me that once you get 3 layers in there, the concavity is mostly nil at that point. So I just don’t see it… ---

I agree with 10balls. I prefer them in most of my yoyos. Here’s the kicker though… I ordered a yoyo form Hong Kong that came with a kk. Upon closer inspection of the bearing, it had 10 balls. So I have a 10ball kk that is quiet, smooth, and awesome. It’s like the perfect mix =P ---
