It’s a YYF Center Trac bearing. I can only assume Chris uses it because he likes the bearing and has a good relationship with YYF. Personally I much prefer them to flat bearings. ---

If you don’t know, don’t post. It just gets really confusing when you all have different people saying different things. There is no such thing as a CLYW center trac and there is no such thing as a YYF center trac. The ONLY center trac that exists is the CBC (Central Bearing Company) Center Trac which both CLYW and YYF use in their yoyos. They’re the same bearing, companies just buy them to use in their yoyos. CLYW, YYF, and CBC are all separate entities; yoyo companies partner together with CBC to put their products (bearings, axles, response) into their yoyos. You can buy them here: > **[YYF Center Trac Bearing](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/center-trac-yoyo-bearing)** > > YoYoFactory in conjunction with the Central Bearing Company present to you a new bearing to make your yo-yo less responsive and smoother on the string.The concept with center-trac: Take a normal bearing and create a flat groove towards the inside of... ---

Well you don’t always know what you don’t know. People are often mislead be others assumptions. Most believe the sky is blue due to the color of the oceans. That’s not fact, but to many it’s true. Telling people not to post because what they may believe to be fact really isn’t, is not cool. Not everyone is as informed as you are. I’m not saying to post complete lies because you feel like it. Just post what you believe. If its not true then you learned something new. ---

RecRev has a agreement with another store for their bearings. I also like the Buddha bearings. That’s some good stuff! But, if you still want a CenterTrac, those are great bearings too. Just get one. They are the same thing that CLYW is using anyways. ---

I’m fairly certain the CBC is a sister company of YYF. It’s just the name YYF uses for their pads and bearings.
