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. What can I do to make it less responsive? ---

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. ---

Just clean the bearing, or swap bearings from another yoyo. Phenomizms should be unresponsive. Did you break in the bearing fully? ---

If it really doesn’t work, I would rip out the silicone and recess it myself. ---

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. :wink: 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.
