Im a beginner and own a Duncan Metal Drifter… I dont expect to be upgrading my yoyo soon so I want to make it less responsive.I ordered a Center Trac bearing to help. Any other suggestions to make my yoyo less responsive? What kind of Lube or response systems will help? ---

Get some Duncan silicone pads (sold here, look at the Duncan section). Also, did you get a A sized center trac? It takes a A sized bearing. Also try cleaning the bearing. ---

Looks like these guys have a tutorial and the necessary response pads for the metal drifter. Hope this helps you out. ;D Links removed. YoYoExpert is an online store. Please don’t refer people to other online store. It’s not polite. -jhb8426- ---

They sell those here, also don’t advertise other websites, it is against the rules. ---

I just cleaned my bearing did the paper method as well and it is now dead unresponsive , so it’s pretty much stock with a minor mod if you even want to call it that ---

And if you plan on changing the pads i recommend thin dif pads they act like a broken in friction stiker and stay that way for a very long time! ---

Dif pads are slippy and snaggy at the same time by some feat of engineering. Get Duncan silicone stickers, while they don’t last as long, they work better. ---

Get Duncan silicone stickers, while they don’t last as long, they work better. And they are meant for Duncan yoyos.
