> This is likely due to the smaller bearing diameter letting the string engage the response for a further distance of the string before the rest slips out of the gap and hits the bottom at the end of the throw. With C bearing yoyos, this slip happens along a longer amount of string, resulting in a more noticeable thunk.

I don’t understand? We are talking about a size D bearing, which is bigger than a C

D is a smidge wider, but has a smaller outside diameter.

Please know what you’re talking about.

The width is so marginal that it doesn’t matter. The bearing seat dictates gap width, anyways.
