Hello, ever since yesterday my Gnarwhal 2 has been becoming responsive. I tried changing the strings to a one with less tension but that didn’t help. Whenever I go for a finger or a palm grind it comes up and it really hurts. My other yo-yos aren’t doing this, any help?

And you’re sure the bearing’s running okay? Is it really lubed up and responsive?
