I received my Duncan Bumblebee Yo-Yo - Responsive Bi-Metal YoYo. As the title says it is supposed to be responsive, I find it to be anything but responsive. Has anybody found a way to achieve this. I did try some lube in the bearing but my have to try some thicker. I was thinking of using the fixed non-bearing that came with my El MiJo but the bearing bosses are too long, I was going to take it to work and put it in a mill and shorten them. I also thought about using some Turbo Disks that I have from my Tom Kuhn yoyos before I put it in the mill. Are there any other suggestions? ---

I don’t have a Bumblebee but thick lube and thick string should do it. ---

Did you put the wider white friction sticker sized response pads on? And are you using a thick lube? A bit of silicone grease or some other thick lube should be all you need. ---

The bumble bee should have come with them. Did you check inside the cardboard box the yoyo came with? ---

Thanks, found them in the box… Putting them on and using some super lube (a Vasile consistency non petroleum lube) I now have a responsive throw. ---
