How many of you guys also added a grease bucket?

I’m sure the OD guys will add it to their official thread, but if you haven’t already seen it, they’ve added a new bearing to the OD store.

A few months ago, David and I started talking about the DS series and things I’d like to see as a modern responsive player. Among the suggestions I had was a sealed, thickly lubricated bearing. Anyone who has played a lot of responsive with C bearings knows the pain of lube leaking out of them - this issue PLAGUED the original Flying V yo-yo which used an open half-spec bearing.

OD being OD, they opted to bring their own 10-ball version to market. It’s silicone sealed, PACKED w lube, and plays amazing. We’re calling it the Greasebucket, and it’s what I’ve been using exclusively in the Deepest State the past few weeks, and it’s Shooting Moons, Stopping Go’s, Measuring Tape, and generally stalling out just as perfectly as the day I got it.

This would NOT be for those of you who want to experiment w making the DS LESS responsive lol, but if you want to go the other direction, making it play like an unmodded Freehand (without the annoyance of changing friction stickers), this is def the upgrade you’re looking for.
