Hello, I know itās been a while some you posted this. But I just saw it today and did not see a reply to your question about lube and responsiveness. For the most part, you really OMG need to lube the bearing. There are two kinds of lube, thick and thin. Thin is for non responsive yoyos and thick for responsive. But if you decide to use lube, you really only need a pin drop worth of lube. Too much lube will cause resistance in the bearing and thus causing it to snap back. I always use a dry bearing unless it gets dirty or seems to act differently than normal. It is only the that I use the tiniest amount of lube.
As for the bearing you already lubed, you might have to use it for a while to break down the lube and it will become unresponsive again.
I hope this helps. You may have figured this out already. But I just wanted to reply just in case. I hope you are still enjoying the sport/hobby. Welcome to the group!
Peaceā¦ - Woody

Welcome Lulu! Sounds like you are off to a good start so far! If you have any questions, donāt be afraid to ask. 
HELLO! Iām Alex and I have been yoyoing for 2.5-3 years now (I donāt remember exactly when I started) and I use yoyos as an expression and outlet for anything really, I have trouble making new tricks because there is nobody that yoyos around where I live, one day I would love to be sponsored NOT just for yoyos but to promote and spread the joys of yoyoing. Some of my favorite yoyo players consist of Jensen Kimmit, Charles Haycock, Evan Nagao, Ricardo Fraolini, Kris Toledo, and MANY MORE but I cannot think of them. I still am having trouble finding a style that suits me, but my inspirations are my emotions and the players of the community, so I guess my style change as here and there. But yup. Thatās really it about me. Iām an NC player and I wish to go to competitions to make new friends and expand my knowledge and skill after graduation this year!
Hey howās it going. Iām Dave recently started yo-yoing as a tool to relax started with a Duncan Butterfly now have collected ten Duncan yoyos and looking to yoyofactory for a good yoyo as I follow along the learning tutorials made my Andre, great work by the way!
Hi everyone ;D

thanks ronnie
Hey, coming back to yoyo after about 20 yearsā¦ mainly to have a dork out thing my daughter and I could get into. My daughterās interest fell off after a month but I really dig it.
Heeeyā¦I used to moderate a board a long time ago, and I used to get annoyed when noobs didnāt intro themselves. Lol.
Used to throw a LONG time ago, before unresponsives were around (I just dated myself, but whatever). My old throw was a Losi Cherry Bomb (Silver Series version), which I still have. My daughter won a cheap yoyo from school so I figured that it would a fun thing to do together. Bought a Skyva and an N11 to learn unresponsive, and found out that itās a pretty awesome stress reliever in the office.
Iām pretty much a big kid in a tieā¦will never grow up!

Greetings! My name is Brian, Iām old, and absolutely horrible at yo-yoing. Iām getting better slowly, but currently I only know how to forward pass and gravity pull. There is YouTube, but Iām looking for fellow throwers in the Raleig or Apex, North Carolina area that have the time& patience to get together occasionally and coach me a little.
Iām a former educator that now works in health care.
Thanks,
Brian
Hello, my name is Luke.
Iām originally from the United States, but I live in Japan. Iāve only just started throwing, but Iām already hooked. My main yoyo is a YoYoFactory Shutter. I got started by wandering into a shop in Tokyo, run by a group of very friendly guys. This is something I should have started a long time ago, but better late than never.
You arenāt old, your age is just right. Some of us learn slower that others but it is all about having fun. Welcome to the throw.
Hello! Iām Steven. Iām very new to the hobby, but I enjoy it tremendously. Right now all I have is a yyf flight. Iām excited about everything happening in the yo-yo world right now and am excited to be part of it.
Hey guys, My name is Robb and Iām just starting out with unresponsive play. Iāve got one or two tricks down, nothing crazy. Anyway yeah, I throw a one drop Vanguard with kitty string standard. Been thinking about the CLYW Big Dipper or Skyva. Any thoughts?
