You need to clean out that thick lube you put in. A lubed bearing is responsive. You might find something useful here: [Useful modification and maintenance guides - Clean, repair, tune, fix yoyos](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,17792.msg178026.html) ---

Thick lube will only make it more responsive, clean out again and use thin lube. I use less than drop, you put the lube on the point of a needle and then touch one side of your unshielded bearing. spin it on the point of a pencil with your fingers, re-shield and should be good to go.
