Well, yes, but at the cost of a very tiny bit of added friction. Lubing makes it smoother, and if you hyperspin the excess lubrication out, it’s only a very minor cost:

Take it from @Tvelto: [[My Unpopular Yoyo Opinions] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoGKRyksrbM&t=12m34s) I don’t know why this is a controversial opinion, but it totally is. This is my unpopular [yo-yo] opinion that has gotten more hate than any opinion I’ve ever stated … ever. Yo-yo lube, and lubing your bearings, is essential. Bearing runs smoother, bearing runs quieter. “Oh, my yo-yo is dead smooth!” Yeah, not if you don’…

But **if you want PERFECT, zero-friction then you gotta completely get ALL the lubrication out**. Just give it a shot, clean it with isopropyl alcohol. I’ll post an example in the above, try it myself and show you. It will be noisier, but your tolerance for that depends on you..
