Check the bearing. It probably needs to be cleaned. ---

We should have a stickied thread thy just says: Before you ask for help on your yoyo not being smooth or suddenly becoming responsive CLEAN THE BEARING. If that does not help go ahead and make the thread. ---

Technically there is, it’s just under the “Useful modification and maintenance guides - Clean, repair, tune, fix yoyos” sticky. ([Useful modification & maintenance guides -- clean, repair, tune, fix yoyos - Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,17792.0.html)) It’s the one that says “Sudden responsive bearing” ([[Insert yoyo name here] is responsive - Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,34256.0.html)) Besides, haven’t you ever heard of the sticky curse?  :wink: ---
