Fairly simple mod— Beefcake the bearing and it plays AMAZING(er) for 4a. Not too responsive for split knuckles but not not bindable! -Evan ---

I think Doctor Popular invented the beefcake mod. It’s basically two bearings instead of one. Not all yoyos are beefcakeable(?) and some Werrd yoyos come beefcaked. The two bearings you use to beefcake are usually a bit narrower than regular bearings, but it is possible to beefcake two regular bearings on certain yoyos. Addment: Can someone please try beefcaking 1/2 SPECs. Always wanted to know the result of that one. ---
