YYFs are super tight. Don’t worry about it. Just keep trying. It’s hard the first time, but gets easier.

Sure, lubing the bearing will make most any yoyo responsive.

I put a half spec bearing in it and it plays responsive. Very well when lubed with thick lube. I really wanna try the blue pads in it though. I feel like those would be better than the stock white ones.

P.S. If you don’t already have it, I suggest the YYF multitool. Not only does it off bearing removal, but it additionally has an axle adjuster you might need to use.
