Ugh, I feel a little ashamed to admit this, but I don’t really know how to decrease the response on my Phenomizm yoyo. I have had it for about two months now, and in learning more whip tricks the response level has just seemed a little too much lately.
it should also be noted that my experience with modding yoyos is non-existant, so if we can keep it to hardware store type materials and minimally invasive procedures would be awesome. I love it kinda like a child… heh. Help?
Search button. There are many topics about making a yoyo less responsive.
The only thing I would do to a phenomizm is clean the bearing. Removing a response pad… doesnt work so great.
When you buy a new yoyo, no matter if it is beginner or advanced, the yoyo will USUALLY be fully to semi- responsive (at least they are in my experience). Just thin lube it to break down the factory lubricant, then break in the bearing and it should be perfect. I don’t think ripping out the silicone and redoing yourself is really necessary.
It’s not the yoyos fault, but yours. It should 100% unresponsive. At this point you can clean the bearing with lighter fluid and add some Yoyojam thin lube to it.
