I am having a problem with one of my bearings, I do not know which one it is because I got it in a trade. All that I know is that it is an eight ball. It is making a weird noise, kinda like my ten ball did, is super responsive, and has a spin time around ten seconds. Diagnoses?

The bearing is breaking in.

if it doesn’t stop clean it then lube it.

But is almost impossible to break it in because it has such a short spin time

Just trying to play with it as long as you can. about 2 or 3 days and if it still like that, clean and lube it like Nemyo said. and if it never break in, I think that because of the bearing. So just be patient and dry to deal with it. good luck.

10 seconds?

Just out of curiousity, how long should a bearing spin outside of the yoyo when flicked while on a pencil?

10 seconds seems a decent amount of time. I was spinning some bearings last night to check their condition and I had a couple spinning around 17-18 seconds, which surprised me.
