It wasn’t when I got mine. Clean the bearing or get a better one, that should fix it. ---

Mine came responsive also, and I have heard that most of them do. Just clean the bearing and you have an awesome throw. ---

All Raptors come responsive. Duncan has a weird tradition of lubing almost every bearing. You can either clean the bearing or replace it with another bearing or buy a new bearing(HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED). ---

Aside from cleaning it, you can buy a new bearing for it if you want too, I don’t see what’s HIGHLY NOT recommended about doing it. I swapped bearings in that thing using kk’s, cbcs, flats. to find the right feel. depends on your preference in this regard and nothing more. ---

Well if you know how to clean a bearing and you can, or if you do have a bearing from a yoyo you don’t use that fits, why would you need a new bearing. If you clean the bearing, the steel bearing would be fine. And if you swap bearings from another yoyo, like a SPEC bearing, YYJ bearing, CT bearing, almost any type of C size bearing would work. No actual need to buy a new one, but you can if you want to try out a new bearing. I’m just sayin, if you got the skill or spare bearing, there is no definite need, but you can. ---
