This probably shouldn’t be in the modifications section.
Work on your throw. That is the main thing. You can get that Dark Magic to spin pretty long with a good throw.

Brian’s right. The more you play with it and the better your throw is = a long spin time. Play with it and break in the bearing. It will cause the lube to move out of the way and very long spin times will happen.

There are no shortcuts to skill unfortunately… the DM is perfectly capable of spinning long enough to do -anything- …so any problems it is having is a result of you, not the yo-yo… a new bearing or mod isn’t going to change that in any way.
