break in your bearing  
get a set of spacers  
change your response types, eg. silicone orings, or silicone or rtv the o-ring groove

these are just a few suggestions that are a good choice.

The search button is your friend. And you would do the same thing that you would do with any other yoyo: follow what’s been posted in other topics or just don’t worry about it and play responsive.

trade Rubber O-Ring for Silicone, and get better bearing (KonKave, and any other good bearing makers)

You don’t need a “better” bearing. In fact I consider the stock YYJ bearing to be better than most. Just clean or break in the bearing.

YYJ bearings are really good. No need to replace your bearing.
