There’s no need to mod it. It’s a good yoyo, so you can just play with it. ---

That’s good info in my case… Now if I only had my pads here at work with my X-Con… I’ve backed the gap out as far as I can, and it’s still too responsive. Cleaned the bearings over the weekend and it helped until I put a drop of brain lube on it. Gonna clean it again tonight, go with no lube, and also use my Flow Groove pads that I got for my M1. ---
