Konkave is better than the center trac, since it centers the string, while the center trac only keeps it away from the sides. ---

i hated my center tracs because my throws were always crooked. the string would always slide to the edge of the dip. and never sit in the middle. ---

it is a preference and that is the only answer. find the bearing that feels and plays best for you. ---

Well it all comes down to personal preferance really. Koncave and centertrac dont really make a difference. I use a centertrac in most of my yoyos. I bought a ceramic once and it completly scratched up the “guts” of the yoyo, giving it a huge amount of vibe. ---

In my experience, konkave is better at centering the string; center trac lasts longer
