What’s a good type of bearing for doing whips? Does it make any difference? ---

How would the bearing make any difference in whips? xD Alright slacks and suicides maybe but I don’t see how you would think the bearing would make a difference in your whips 😛 ---

It’s basically all about the string But IMO, a center trac/concave would be better 😛 ---

Any type of string centering bearing that’s completely unresponsive will do ya just fine. So will flats of course, but i find it nicer to keep the string away from the response. ---

I probably should have worded it better XD I was thinking about getting a concave bearing partially just to help with whips. But then I thought that maybe OneDrop’s bearing would be better. ---
