hey guys its zomah, and i have a G5. my g5 has never been lubed , and its breaking bearings. the bearings dont spin very long after about half an hour of play in my G5 and start to become ultra responsive, like come up with a tug. i know its the yoyo because i ruined a KK and thought it was the bearing. so i bought another KK. and it did the same thing. the first KK was a month old and the second was brand new. how do i fix this problem?

What?

How new is the G5? It might just need some breaking in on the response. Just ignore the “problem” for a few weeks and it should be fine. And if you tell me you can’t play responsive, then you’re lying and really need to play responsive.
