He clearly said dragonfly guys ??? To get better performance from bumblebee gts (which is basically a dragonfly) I ever so slightly trim the cork back around the bearing, Im talking take a pair of nail clippers and JUST cut the tips of the inside star things. This will make sure they dont tought the bearing. Also if you like, you can clean the bearing, there are plenty of threads on how to do this well. Another way of changing this yoyo that will help with sleeptime is putting weights behind the sidecaps of the yoyo. If you take the yoyo to a hardware or plumbing place you should be able to find a pair of orings the right size that will fit on the inside of the yoyo, like the early freehand 2 yoyos. But most of all, work on your throw for longer sleepers, there is just no substitute. ---
