Hey guys, I just finished cleaning and lubing my Dark Magic for the first time. I cleaned the bearing that came with it and lubed with with thin lube. The problem is, it’s responsive! I’ve been throwing it down it seems as the bearing has slowed dramatically. Any reasons why its responsive? I’ve pinpricked and only touched two balls… Please HELP! ??? ??? ??? ---

This is normal. Play with it for a while and it’ll be good again. ---
