Hey! Thanks for your question, I love to talk about this stuff. I use a mr85 bearing (2.5mm wide) with a nice surface finish - filled with steel epoxy. The key for me is a thin polyester string with a pretty tight wind. I like the Twisted Stringz regulars. Start off with the string over torqued and then gradually let off torsion as the string breaks in. Each individual string breaks in a little different, it’s all about finding that nice responsiveness with clean spin at neutral torsion. ![IMG_6847](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/e/6/de6fa071ec7b3cd8726fc3c8c0b00f53c08bc798.jpeg) I’ve been back and forth several times with having stainless steel bearing blanks made, but I just can’t justify the order size needed (100-200 units) vs what I think is likely a limited demand. So I have left that be for now. The glued bearings work well for me. I’ve been using the same one for almost 2 years once I got it dialed in. I actually plan to make more in the future, I already have bearings cleaned and ready. It’s just tedious work to fill them - plus Canada post I currently on strike. Regarding the spacers you use. Are those aluminum and 3mm wide? I tried a 3mm wide mr85 bearing that I made into a blank a while back and liked it initially but then determined that it caused too much kickback for my liking. ---

I finally got a firm grasp on Trapeze Stalls. So what I figured out is that I was following through as if I were trying to land Trapeze. When I started basically throwing it straight down and then returning it… it all just fell into place. 😃 ---
