So you mean to say you aren’t very smooth and don’t have a good throw and could just work on those.

Yes but that’s not going to help you.

It wouldn’t be too hard for a modder with a lathe to put a C bearing in a Dragonjam. That and a silicone recess would make it play quite nicely.

Have you cleaned the bearing. I liked my Zombie better after I cleaned the bearing. Yay for simple solutions.

Don’t be like that. That’s pretty rude, and worse than any unintentional effects Ape has caused. Ape’s right. A lot of people think that using a new bearing/new yoyo will help. He’s telling them to save money and practice, instead of buy a new yoyo and still practice. And he isn’t downplaying people’s skills, more of making them accept they need more practice… and the ignoring thing was just rude…
ANYWAYS… yoyomatt’s right, using shim’s is the easiest way to make the gap bigger. I’m pretty sure I made a how to make homemade shim thingy awhile ago… gimme 1 min.
