Where can I find these bearings?

PM me and I can give you some pointers.

Although honestly, I haven’t been all that pleased with them. Some come back with a good cleaning and then being Terrapin X Dry Play treated, but I haven’t been all that thrilled with them. I have been lucky with the ones that shipped in my Magic YoYos. So far.

Try the Chinese 10-ball concave bearings, they’re amazing.

Those Chinese bearings are the bomb. Seriously. I’ve had Speed bearings and genuine Dif KK bearings die on me, those cheap Chinese ones just keep going.

Chinese 10 ball bearings I’ve found add more vibe to a vibey yoyo, but makes a dead smooth yoyo even smoother lol. Probably something to do with the extra balls.

My stargazer has a chinese 10ball kk in it. Anything else makes it less than perfectly smooth.
