I just today received a replay pro,switched bearing to a half spec C in it. Awesome responsiveness at first, but now just a few hours after play at times it’s unresponsive. New string,new pads,fully tightened. I hate tugging on it trying to get it to respond then unexpectedly its snaps back to my hand and stubs my finger or hits a knuckle. Any ideas? Thank you ---

Lube the bearing. Bearing lube condition is responsible for 90-95% of response. ---

If it becomes too responsive, or won’t sleep long, or feels gritty, it’s time to clean it. ---
