Hi, I’ve have a YYF Confusion that randomly won’t return. I’ve owned it for about a month, and it’s my first yoyo. I have the more responsive pads that it comes with inside. I can include any pic/video if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add some thick lube, grease, Vaseline, etc to the bearing and you’ll be back in business. You might even be able to use the thinner pads and get a lot more spin time if you pack enough in the bearing and use a thick string.

Hi Balilover01,

Sorry to hear about your YYF Confusion. Luckily it is an easy fix to make it responsive! All you need to do is apply a couple of drops of Thick lube on the bearing and it should do the trick! 🙂

Also if you don’t have any thick lube, you can try using a thicker yo-yo string which might help it respond better!
