Whats the best setup for unresponsive play? I have a concave bearing and Yoyofactory string, but the string seems a bit thick still. And are there shims for widening the gap? Dm me if so.

Silicone recess.

I don’t even have a concave, it’s unresponsive with a clean stock bearing and a silicone recess.

If you dont want to silicone, remove one pad.

It’s easy to get caught up in collecting and forget sometimes. The FH1 is the most pure fun I’ve had with one in a long time.

back in the old days, we use o-rings (same outer diameter of the size A bearing) and you can adjust your preferred gap width with just a small twist.

Setting: YOYO HALVE - O-RING - SPACER - BEARING - V.V
