Yeah something about rpm. Especially if your throwing regens and stalls your low rpm returns will get you through more which might be more the pads being wider too but can’t confirm that. Either way I agree generally smaller diameter axle/bearing lend themselves better toward modern responsive play

Good point about pad size as my 2 favorite bearing throws, Plasm and Weekender, both have wider response pads in conjunction with a smaller bearing. They just seem to have a softer catch to them. I need to pull out my Moonshine and throw it around some again. It’s also a C bearing but I remember it being a bit softer too, it also weighs quite a bit more.

Weight is another factor heavy can hurt but will spin so much longer however too heavy and return slips. I kind of enjoy the 45/55 gram range for responsives

Also, the Plasm hurts less when you mess up while you’re loop-goofin’ lol
