Is it normal for the 10 ball bearing to be perfectly quiet and then on one throw go really loud?

Yes.

Is it new? If so, it’s like in it’s final stages of breaking in. You can either play through it, or add a drop of VM4 lube and keep playing, or clean it. Either way, it’s almost done. Once fully broken in, it gets quiet again.

Did you remove the shields? How did you clean it?

It may still be breaking in. Though they don’t get responsive on me when breaking in though.

Keep playing it.
