You guys mind if I revive this thread? I’ve just gotten into 4A and I’m destroying it. I can do basics, tods and catch, one handed bind, and barrel rolls! Hoping to learn some whips soon. ---

I remember getting really into 4A during my Sophomore year of high school. I love doing it but most my time has been consumed by 1A and perfecting those tricks. ---

I find that off string yoyo bearings get dirty easier. ---

Yyf is a good company, you probably just coincidently got to bad ones. If they’re real duds they might even replace them. ---

It happens sometimes. I’ve received a couple throws from other companies that had the bearing seize after a couple days. Changed or cleaned them and back in biz! ---

I believe it’s not because of my bearing. When it started not spinning properly I took it apart, took the washer off the bearing and then stuck it in the yo-yo itself so I might have screwed up there. ---

Good to hear your back in operating order. Damn bearings can be so fussy sometimes. When I catch a whip on the wrong string I just do a cross arm hop out of it Sam post from earlier. Caught the wrong string on the whip at the end.
