It didn’t use to be able to do fake binds/be tugged up when I was using Dif-Pads.  
Now It does do fake binds and can be tugged up even WITHOUT A SHARP PULL.  
Is it the silicone or the bearing?The pics might help…

I had the same problem with my yo-yo the first time I siliconed it.

Either the silicone isn’t concave enough or you need to break in your new silicone for a bit.  
I’ve been yo-yoing on and off for a week and my poor job (2nd try) at siliconing finally broke in.
