A konkave really only helps in keeping the string centered easier during tricks and such and also helps with multiple layers. But with a good throw you can get the string centered and it will pretty much stay, as for multiple layers I would say a konakave would help in smaller gapped yoyos such as the DM my dv888 does just fine though. ---

Learn to throw properly. The bearing shouldn’t matter. ---

As others have said, a clean technique is the best and allows for more bearing options. However, they definitely are nice. I would recommend the Center Trac bearing that you can buy from YYE. $5 less than a standard KonKave, comes pre-cleaned, and is so smooth. Same functionality and a smaller price tag is a win in my book. ---

try it out if you are willing to shell out the cash for it, maybe you will go crazy for it, only problem is you might want to order a Dif-e-yo KonKave bearing instead of a Die-F-Yo, as I am unsure of where those are made :wink: ---

i dislike the generic answer to these questions - but it’s still applicable. worth it to who? yoyoin’ is all 'bout preference. besides the obvious - yes a 500$ yoyo would most likely perform ‘better’ than a 5$ yoyo. i’ve always felt that yoyoin’ has very lil’ to do with the actual yoyo. within reason - i should be able to do tricks on any yoyo i’m usin’ at the time. can you get to that? and yes - it’s dif-e-yo. and the company is owned by Mr. Difeo. mgodzilla partly cloudy… ---
