I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying that ‘Breaking into a bearing’ will make it spinn faster. How can you break into one? ???

I think they mean “break in” a bearing, not break into. To answer the question, play w/ the YoYo allot and it will break in the bearing.

Hammers are great for breaking into all kinds of things. Unfortunately, breaking into a bearing won’t help it. Breaking it in, however, will. As already stated just play it and it will break in.

Well I usually use crowbars or timebombs when breaking into b… oh wait!

Nah just kidding. A little bit of regular play should “break in” or wear out the lube in the bearing.
