So theres about a gazillion bearings out there and with as inexpensive as it is to swap them out I’ve never given them much thought (nor do i really have any experience to draw from as I’ve only thrown two bearings, yotricks vip and rcs stock concave).
What’s your desert island bearing and why do you swear by it? Also, which company has the best stock bearings?
I’m not sure what this says about me, but I’ve never changed bearings. With the exception of replacing duds of course.

honestly I just bought a ton in bulk and have a jar of good bearings and a jar of bad bearings, and when the good jar runs dry I clean and test all the bad ones and put them back in the good jar.
I really enjoy One Drop bearings in certain throws, especially organics like the Panorama and Intro where I’m playing more for the feel. For more performance, I usually prefer DS and concaves. NSK and Original Throw are my favorite of what I’ve tried.
The only ones I’ve seen recently come stock with flat bearings were Duncans. Butterfly XT has a full C flat bearing and the new Freehand One came with a flat A bearing.
