Sorry if this is a dumb/n00b question, but lately some of my responsive yo-yos have become unresponsive, or close thereof. It happened to my stoopid and now to my harbinger, I have a video to show if that helps, but it won’t let me attach it…
Why did this start happening? Is it a string issue? Do I need to lube? Skill issue?
I’m honestly not sure how much you should lube a responsive with a bearing, my only responsive is a Duncan Neo, I made my luftverk plastic fulvia responsive with some thick gun oil and it was perfectly responsive for about a week then I cleaned the bearing to make it unresponsive again, I would say lube it whenever it starts to feel like it’s getting unresponsive. Or you could get bearing blanks to put in them which would make them fixed axles
But yeah just sounds like a lubrication issue to me. I would say maybe get some new or thicker response pads but yours should be fine as you haven’t had them for very long
Thanks for the response, I’ll try these out.
I originally had a thicker string on it (ammo) but I switched back to the one it came with cause I found it didn’t catch when doing looping tricks.
