Those Duncan Butterflys are finicky. The strings they come with are not too great. ---

Thanx for the input. Thought it was just me. I even soaked and cleaned the bearings 😀 ---

Sorry ChrisFrancz thought i’d already said. It ended up as the pads wanted changing. The bearing question was just an offshoot. Thanks for looking out 😀 ---

> [@pep65](#): > > The reason i ask is i’ve time on my hands at the moment (isolation) so i’ve been getting to the problem with my delrin gamer. Anyway, the response was extreme so i started changing and cleaning bearings, and no matter what i did th On my Delrin gamer, I have it running with the slim/half-spec bearing, 1 thick pad and 1 thin. This makes it less snaggy but still a nice, snappy response for what I was looking for out of it. ---

Same here. The two thick pads just made it, well, impossble. Snappier than a fixed axle and then some 😀 ---

When I got my first Replay the pads were so thick - stuck out so far that I hated it! I put in slim pads and added a drop of thin lube to the narrow C bearing and ended up loving it as a responsive. I did the same for my One yoyo too. The great thing about throwing is learning about all this stuff. If you put an @ before a name it notifies the person. ---
