I recently received my orbis, about a week or so ago. I have given it an extensive breaking in session. The bearing spins really smooth when I take it out. Like really really smooth. But the yoyo tends to snag on the string when I get 2 or 3 layers in the gap.
Could it be that the gap is too small or could it be the response pads?
If anyone else has the Orbis I’d be happy to know if you experienced this also.
In my experience, yoyofficer pads are terrible and are either too responsive or too slippy and require extra long break in. You can either replace them or break them in. Who knows, maybe they work for you after some breaking in.
I own a Musket and an Orbis. Both good throws but those pads are…a bit sketchy and grabby. They do the job but they grab at the wrong times. To be fair I haven’t broken them in much. In fact, my Orbis just bit me, did not feel too good…time to yank those pads out.
