Has the blizzard bearing problem been worked out by spintastics?  
The reason I’m asking this is beacause I’ve only heard about it in old threads.  
On the side is the bearing king a plastic tip?

The single-bearing blizzard did not spin very well. Dale has modified the Blizzard tip design to be similar to S8 tip design, with a nut on the inside holding it all together. I haven’t thrown one but I hear it is better.
