It’s a standard grooved bearing that’s been sold under multiple names from multiple different brands, Twisted Trifecta, Crucial Groove, etc. Truth is you can find them off Aliexpress in bulk for pretty cheap. Should work fine. I’m confused what you mean by the bearing is too slippery though.

idk, seemed really slippery with the string i was using so i changed out the bearing for a centertrac instead of the string and it worked how i expected it to, so the groove bearing was more slippery relative to the centertrac

Hmm that’s interesting. Must be a preference thing. I personally do not like how these bearings feel either.

probably just a placebo now that i think of it, but it feels better so who cares

Grooved bearings are annoying imo I find them snaggy with multiple string layers bc the string gets stuck in the groove and doesn’t spread out right
