Hi, I just got back into yoyoing after 8 years. I just purchased the Hitman Pro. I was wondering why this yoyo doesn’t return when i try to “pop” it back up. The yoyo is stock and has no modifications. Sorry for the lame question yoyos have gotten a bit more complicated since i last used them…any help is appreciated. 🙂 ---

This is a Ball bearing yoyo. Most of these type of yoyo play what is called unresponsive. They require a bind to get them back up to your hand. Most yoyos these days play like this. Hitman Pros are a really good yoyo once you get to know binding. Here is what I mean by binding > **[YoYoExpert.com - Intermediate - Bind Returns](https://yoyoexpert.com/learn/030-intermediate-bind-returns.php)** > > Learn how to return an unresponsive yo-yo using a bind return from the YoYoExpert. ---

Either you learn how to bind or you buy a cheaper starter yoyo like the kickside/lyn fury. Binding isnt that hard, so you should have it down in no time. ---

Alternatively… You can remove the sheild’s from the side of the bearing and apply a thick lube, this should make for smooth play but response! ---

Like Skip and jhb8426 said, lube it up! IMO the Hitman Pro was a great choice and you will be able to learn all kinds of tricks with it both responsive or unresponsive. ---

Thanks for the help guys. I also found that if I loop the string on the yo-yo three times it is responsive.
