Each bearing received 1/2 of a wing cut. Set the maximum center depth at .009in. Just gotta polish em and play…wonder how they’ll work ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/2/c/b2ca347cdde4ec754b29d0b0ee7551e6ef7af25c.gif) ---

What exactly is going on here? Is it just that the gap between bearings is minimalized or am I seeing a slope to the center. I can’t tell if my eyes are playing tricks, so excuse the fact that I don’t really see anything right from the get-go. Clarification would be sweet :wink: ---

I can’t tell if my eyes are playing tricks, so excuse the fact that I don’t really see anything right from the get-go. Clarification would be sweet :wink: I think theres a small gap in between and a slope. ---

small slope. It’s basically the same as the wing cut, which has a slight v shape on the bearing 🙂 Only now, it’s half that, so it’s beefcaked into this 🙂 ---

It was done for a werrd 4xl that has a 4.57mm. gap. The cut on each bearing starts 2.6mm from center. It’s actually more parabolic then a V. The normal wing cut is .003in. at it’s deepest but I went to .009 eliminating the rounded edge of the bearing and the groove it caused. I sent it off and emailed a link to this topic. Perhaps we will hear first hand how it plays. ---

Just got the 4XL yesterday. Hoping the Bearings will be hear today. I’m pretty excited. Will let you know as soon as I do. The custom finish on this one is much nicer than I expected. I can’t bing myself to strip it. Got to get anotherone. So I can do the ano job I got planned. ---

Like to do them In S/C and maybe a slightly Deeper groove. little more noticible type thing. but it does center the string great. Would also like a few regular bearings S/C as well for a few other throws.” ---

Hey people sorry I been MIA. That work thing got in teh way again. These Bearing are simply amazing. Super spin speed/time. The String centeres Perfectly Every time. Never get the bunching like a KK or Center Trac can cause. The A bearing in teh Jimmy Hats actually made the Vibe a bit less when using them from the standard bearings as well. Extremely Impressed with the Project. Cant wait to get those S/C ones. and then the Custom Ano Job. Pictures will be up as soon as the Project is complete. Thanks again John, Rob ---

no Problem Skip, soon as I get it back I’ll pm you and get you the picks. If your interested Id be willing to Ship it off to you to try it out for a bit, maybe make a Video with it, give your Review of it. See what it can really do in the Hands of a Pro. 🙂 ---

At Robs request, to make the cut more visible, the S/C ceramic beefcake bearings were cut to a center depth of .018in. Shown to the right (red dot) is a standard TX wing cut bearing. (The thickness of my pinkie fingernail is .021) NOTE: these bearings were not pressed together. The space between the bearings is inaccurate & sorry for the shop rag dust. ---
