I beefcaked my Yomega Maverick, but now it doesn’t sleep very long. Do beefcaked yoyos do that, or did I do something wrong? ---

The string was sitting in between the bearings, but it didn’t slip between them. ---

Make sure your bearings are VERY cleaned and just barely lubed. they need to spin extremely free to work right. ---

Ok. Iv’e been trying to get some mineral spirits for a while. When I get it, I’ll clean the bearings and try again. ---

I think the problem is that if you have the spacers out, the bearings will touch the sides and not spin. This is my hypothesis. ---

Mavericks just aren’t compatable with the beefcake mod. And if your not using a yomega bearing it won’t work at all. ---

Any yoyo can be beefcaked. It is all in the way and the bearing thickness or spacers you use. I have beefcaked a maverick and it worked so… The gap on the maverick is pretty thin so that is why I tried it.
