Yeah the bearings in mine are all a little meh, only critique I could have. At least changing a bearing is a fairly easy fix.
I have one where the bearings quiet but the other one is definitely loud. Plays good tho, just loud. Tried adding some lube which helped a little but its about what you can expect from 8 ball crown caged bearing.
They had quite a bit at pnwr but had to pass. One drop had some amazing yoyos at a great price.
I second this to the umpteenth degree.
What?! Please let this end up being a thing.
I replaced the bearing with another centertrac bearing and it quitted right down and the is play is fantastic.
Big Dipper, yes. Borealis, if I can get my hands on one.
