I use Rain City Skills grooved, G2 Boss Rage, or Mazal Tops hybrid V/grooved bearings, depending on how much I want to spend or what I have on hand at the time ---

As long as it spinz gud and doesn’t sound like a garbage disposal, it should be fine. Don’t read too much into it. I like having flats, center tracs, concaves, and DS bearings available to dial in response and layer management. Some people use different thicknesses of string to do this, I use the same string on everything and swap bearings to fine tune response. Having said all that, my favorites are OD 10 Balls and Original Throw Concaves. ---

Also alloexpress has grooved full ceramic bearings for like 3 bucks each full ceramic grooved work extremely well but it doesnt keep the string from rubbing against the response pads as well as the yyf v shape hybrid ceramics ---

I change my original answer mazal top now has full ceramic v shape bearings in black and a white version i think the full black version actually has better races with slightly less friction than the white version so that is probably the best the world has to offer as of right now however both would create less frictional than yyf vip bearings which were in my original answer due to metalic races that genrate greater friction ---

I love Pixel bearings, but DS are close.
