It shouldn’t be loose when you are winding it up if you wrap around your finger in the beginning. Maybe you’re doing it wrong…? Edit: Okay, after rereading what you said, I think I’ve found your problem. When wrapping around your finger, you need to wrap around your finger once and then wrap under your finger, normally, a few times. After that, you can take out your finger and continue winding up your yo-yo. ---

I don’t know if it was a typo or what, but if this is what you’re doing, that’s definitely your problem. I actually wind my yo almost all the way before taking my finger out, just to be safe. There’s really no reason to take it out early. ---

Yeah, Kim-Lan is totally right. There is no right/wrong way to do it - as long as you can wind it up, no worries. :wink: ---

It still doesn’t work though, like I said, it’s just loose and the first few inches of string just kind of fall off because they don’t have a firm grip on the bearing. ---

Here, maybe a video will help. It still sounds like you’re doing it wrong, because it can’t be loose if you use your finger. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icA8u06mLHs) ---

What exactly makes a yoyo unresponsive? ---

Mainly the response, or the wide gap. Sometimes the bearing, too. Usually an un-responsive Yo-Yo has a silicone pad, or a flow groove. It can also have a wide gap, also. Responses like hybrid, double o-ring, or starburst aren’t responsive, unless they have a really wide gap where the string doesn’t touch it. It can also be the bearing. A KonKave bearing is usually un-responsive. Some responsive Yo-Yos with a tight gap, and a bearing like a KonKave can be un-responsive, because of the bearing. ---

By the way, even if a yo-yo is unresponsive, it will also be able to wind up fine. ---

Darn it, I’m very frustrated with the yoyo. I bought it, waited a few days, got it, then had to buy Thick Lube because I wanted it responsive (The problem was still there and I thought Thick Lube would fix it), waited a week, got it, then I find out the yoyo is still acting strange with terrible sleep time. I guess the only thing to do is send it back for repairs? ---

You could wait a bit longer, see what happens. Other than that - try it. :wink: ---

> [@Spencer\_L](#): > > You could wait a bit longer, see what happens. > > Other than that - try it. :wink: Alright. A day ago they said through email that if I wanted to return it and have them look at it and send it back, I would need the package slip. I believe I threw it away already though, do you guys think that that would prevent me from sending it in now? I mean, I don’t see what a packaging sleep would have to be present because this was bought online, so they should have the data on this and proof of purchase. ---
