I must say I’m sorry for leaving out all the facts here. Big mess-up. But yea, as he said in the interview with Yin (long time ago) and in a post where he answered DocRobots questions:

Currently I use a KonKave bearing with no shims and a relatively tight gap - I find the KonKave bearing makes the yo-yo much smoother and the tight gap keeps it responsive for doing regenerations but unresponsive for whip and slack tricks, etc. The best of both worlds. 🙂

This is probably why I think that André is not using the KonKave bearing just beacause he wants his yoyo unresponsive. I think he said it because the KonKave could help you out in the matter.

Addment: Unless you left out some facts as well, André never answered that he uses the KonKave bearing to make his yoyo unresponsive.
