I did this today: ![IMG_0673](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/3/b/53b439d21bd16b8f2a9af1bc5e533347bf1fb4d3.jpeg) Put some Duncan performance rings in my worlds edition Butterfly XT, but I didn’t like the look of the exposed nuts/bolts so I made some plastic caps to fit underneath. Plays great, solid 63g. ---

Didn’t do anything with the guts yet, just responsive bearing. ---

Not sure… Red Kitty String probably. > [@PCaliyoyos](#): > > do the wooden yoyos like the Carlson have responsive bearings? or are they fully responsive? thanks! The Carlson is a fixed axle yo-yo, as are most wooden yo-yos. No bearings, just a wood axle. ---

That simple black/white looks so good. Also makes me wish I had some performance rings kicking around. ---

I tried putting performance rings on a Freehand Nextgen once and it just added incredible amounts of vibe. I know that is supposed to be a sign of rings that weren’t properly installed, but dang, I shoved those things into the cups as hard as I could… ---

> [@zslane](#): > > I tried putting performance rings on a Freehand Nextgen once and it just added incredible amounts of vibe. Wouldn’t be the same, but I bet you could go old school and put a couple rubber o-rings inside to add a little weight. Like old difeyos or the original Freehand 2. Wouldn’t have that nice style of Garrett’s though. ---

Just curious? How did you calculate that you would need such a wiiiiide response area? I’ve never seen anything quite that huge. But then again; what do I know🤔 Also; how deep is the response groove? ---

Not sure the rest of your inquiries but the response area on a 650b looks about that wide. ---

I’m curious about this as well. The outer diameter of the response is more “purple” than the middle area. It looks like the response groove is much shallower near the outer diameter.
