I recently got a replay pro and followed a tutorial of setting it up, but when I tried a responsive trick, it reacted as if it was responsive. After that I asked in the yo-yo expert discord and was told to clean it. I did, and it still is responsive. Is it me or do I need a new yo-yo?

you’ll need a new bearing, not a new yoyo

Did you ever think that just cleaning it might fix the problem??

I added less than a drop of lube, would that have any effect?

I would see how it spins before adding lube. It’s always possible you got a bad bearing but I’d make sure you cleaned it 100% properly before assuming that.

Also if you overtighten a replay pro it will be responsive.

If you added lube/oil, it can definitely affect the play and make it responsive for awhile.
