Everyone should own one. Leave in the stock bearing and just learn to enjoy throwing for the pure joy of playing yoyo. ---

I’m really sorry, let me try again: If you get a Parlay it can only be enjoyable by swapping out the bearing for a string centering bearing. Next you need to buy loads of yoyos which are designed to make it as easy as possible to do things. That is the BEST way to enjoy yoyoing! BEST! ---

I agree a stock Parlay will make you a better player in the long run. I enjoy the sensitivity and added control gained by tha flat bearing that you learn to feel, and its just so smooth. ---

Ah, okay. For a second there it looked as though you were suggesting that “throwing for the pure joy of playing yoyo” was only possible with a stock flat bearing. I’m glad we cleared that nonsense right up. MOAR BEST! ---

> [@beeebon](#): > > Leave in the stock bearing and just learn to enjoy throwing for the pure joy of playing yoyo. It’s a weird, I feel like I used to overthink this. Now, I don’t even really notice whether I’m throwing on a flat or concave of some kind. It’s just not really an issue anymore. Lately, I find that I am much more concerned about how loud / quiet my bearings are. I don’t think I could care less about the bearings profile, so long as it’s quiet. ---

Yeah much the same here, I have a couple of organic shaped yoyos without flat bearings and it doesn’t bother me however I still stand by my opinion that new yoyoers think such things matter so much these days way more than they actually do. I once thought it mattered! I’m nowhere near good enough to really really notice a difference! ---

From the first time I threw a One Drop, I noticed a big difference. It is such a common story around here that it can’t simply be a mass a hallucination among beginners. ---

It plays great regardless of which bearing you have in it, just a good yo-yo. ---

Honestly I think beginners actually notice the differences in bearings more. Experienced throwers make subtle changes in their technique to compensate and probably don’t even notice that they are doing it because it has become instinctual. I’m just starting to get to the point where it doesn’t really matter, but I still don’t like the feel of a VTWO with a flat. ---

> [@eternalmetal](#): > > Honestly I think beginners actually notice the differences in bearings more. Experienced throwers make subtle changes in their technique to compensate and probably don’t even notice that they are doing it because it has become instinctual. I’m just starting to get to the point where it doesn’t really matter, but I still don’t like the feel of a VTWO with a flat. My thoughts exactly. :+1: The difference in behavior with not just my VTWOs, but also my Top Decks, has been so drastic that I’ve made it a personal policy to put Boss Rage bearings in every One Drop I buy. Of course, I save the stock flats in the boxes for the day when I’m one of those experienced throwers who compensates instinctively and no longer notices any difference. But in the mean time, I am profoundly glad that I can easily swap out the bearings. Moreover, I don’t seem to be at all alone in this…I’ve lost count of the number of folks (both here and on FB) who have experienced the same issue and have been given the same advice, with the same positive results. _(And I feel pretty confident that we all throw for the pure joy of yoyoing, no matter which bearing we choose.)_ :wink: ---
