Idk anything about all that. what I do know is if I buy Hollywood modern yoyo bearings either ct or concave I am certain every one of them will spin smooth with no issues and that’s all I really need.

i got some bearings from Hollywood as well and i was very happy about how high the good quality ratio on them was on first inspection. Def the best bulk bearing deal out there that doesnt require you to hit aliexpress or similar stores.

Thanks for this. Not sure I currently have any spares to try for a better fit. I typically just leave whatever bearing the yoyo comes with. But I’m probably coming to a point where I’ll have enough time on my yoyo’s to start needing to do more maintenance and would be interested in trying some new bearings while I’m at it. So I may just order a couple to try out.

Actually, come to think of it, I do have a yoyo or two somewhere that I bought when I was brand new and never ended up using much. I’m sure I have a replay pro somewhere. I could check if its bearing would go in easy.
