Hello, i just started throwing a yoyo, and just moved to the dark magic. The string came off my ball bearing, and i put it back on correctly, i think.

It still works great, but now im having trouble with the yoyo returning to my hand! How do i make it more responseive\>

Buy some YYJ thick lube… put a drop on a needle, and lastly apply it to the bearing.

You could do what those two said, or you can try to learn how to bind. Another thing you could do is make a slipknot in your bearing.
