I bought a Mini Confusion (with hubstacks) and can’t get it to come back with a tug. I can yank it two feet in the air and it’s not catching. If I try an unresponsive bind, it comes back violently.  
What’s up? How can I get this thing coming back?

Apply thick lube, grease, Vaseline, etc. to the bearing.

You can also do bind with shorter loop if it is snagging.

BAM! That did it. I took the bearing out, slathered it petroleum jelly, and spun on pencil for a bit. Surprisingly sexy, really.  
Now, it’s popping back exactly like I wanted. I’m enjoying the hubstack novelty, too.  
Thanks!

Nice. Just reapply as needed.

Most unresponsive throws can also be played responsive with this technique.
