I’m planning to mod my profly into a ball bearing yoyo,i found a mod,but i don’t have the parts to mod it.Currently I’m looking for a mod that uses common yoyo parts or parts that can be found in hardware stores.Can anyone teach my how to do one?
The same mods that can be done to one yoyo can be done to another in most cases. There are several topics on general modding floating around this forum.
go to a hardware store and get two size 5/8 washers and four (3/8"i.d.x1/2"o.d.x1/16 wall) o-rings
buy 2 large yoyojam size o rings, two thick silver duncan spacers(fhz size), one duncan bearing (just get the duncan hardcore bearing spacer kit for the spacer and bearing), and two yoyojam size k-pads
remove the caps, nut, wooden thingy, and axle
in the wooden axle recess thingy and stick in the k pad, it will take a little squishing and then
it will fit onto the outer rim of the recess
place the yoyojam o rings over the k pad
take the duncan spacers and squish two of the smaller o-rings onto the outer rim
as in:
o o ← two o rings covering the spacer

i i _l <-bearing seat on spacershould be sticking out here

superglue it like that
now thw spacer should fit right in the middle of the yoyojam o ring
6.do the same to the other side
replace the nut and axle, while leaving the caps and wooden thingy off
the black nubs should also be replaced
8.now take the washers- they should be able to fit where the caps used to be if you press hard enough
put the bearing on the spacer and screw the whole thing together.
