I recently modded my FHz because i wasn’t playing with it much since I recently got a PGM and i like it much better so i though i would try my hand at modding. I did the recessing with a drill and a jewelers screwdriver. the dyeing with RIT dye. the black didn’t turn out that well… more of a brown. I need a new bearing because when i got the yoyo, i was new to yo-ing and i ran the bearing dry so it’s not that great anymore. i was thinking of getting a KK to increase performance. would this be a good idea? the yoyo plays great. ``` [b] Before[/b] ``` ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/b/f/0bf0ba99bebe3fde135c741ad9c98460b149d027.jpeg) ``` [b]After[/b] ``` ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/8/c/f8c2290da2ff8f9de05ea36c9b9280655189fe2f.jpeg) I used the middle of friction sticker to cover the Bolt and hex nut ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/d/9ed09466b830d49556742ded843a4f3ddc55a2cf.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/f/32feb30a50a0decdc56ecb3ca07a5cfc9a569759.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/c/a/0caca13b3825051732ab828ba22f77d10f2971b3.jpeg) Sorry about the fuzziness my camera ins’t so great :-\ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/9/9990c6e7ca0edfa884fab73366ee22ec99c966d1.jpeg) once again, sorry about fuzziness :-\ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/6/9/d690df81211c2ed0dd085a4bf3989119309713ba.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/6/4/064745ef943a07440c87501f6022ce122284bccd.jpeg) so what do you guys think? constructive criticism accepted Thanks ---

Looks good but the silicone on the black side is a bit well ugly. Other than that great gob. Try adding some extra wight to the rims of it to make spin time a bit longer. A kk will do it fine but just remember a kk makes things easy. It takes real skill to do all the tricks a kk can do with a stock bearing. I learned that from André. Later. Keep it spinning™ ---

Yeah, when recessing the black side the screwdriver slipped and, well, you see what happened, I made some scratches i didn’t want. I’d like to try a KK because my main problem is tilting… but I’m afraid ill too used to/spoiled by a KK that i can’t go back I want to get some throwdown weight rings but i can’t find them anywhere. i dont like the looks of the YoYoGuy ones ---

So long as you can bind, the KonKave bearing will be a great upgrade! Support YYE: [http://yoyoexpert.com/product/dif-e-yo/konkave-bearing/](http://yoyoexpert.com/product/dif-e-yo/konkave-bearing/) ---

If you want real black then try mixing one black with a navy blue. One bottle with a packet I think. Doesn’t matter which. ---
