Okay, so I received my YoYoFactory WHiP a couple of days ago and when I first got it, it was perfectly unresponsive. However, today, it started being highly responsive all of a sudden. It comes back when I give it a slight tug. Do I have to clean out my bearings already or something? I’ve never done that before _A_ ---

Also, will a Duncan SG Stickers fit for a Duncan Metal Drifter? > **[Duncan Response](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/duncan-silicone-groove-sg-yoyo-stickers)** > > This is replacement response for your silicone groove Duncan yo-yos like the new Raptor and Duncan's future aluminum yo-yo releases.The 19mm pads are also compatible with any yo-yos that use the CBC Slim Pad Size 19mm OD.Not sure if it will fit? Feel... Sorry for the off topic question. ---

The bearing is probably just breaking in. Just keep playing with it. ---

Nope, nothing’s in the bearing. Hopefully it’s just breaking in, I’ll try to keep playing with it… ---

When there is nothing visable in the bearing, I just drop one drop of really thin lube on the bearing and then play with it till it is unresponsive again. Normaly around an hour of play. ---

This also happened with my grind machine. I ended up prying the bearing from the spacers and it didn’t spin at all. Since there is no spacers in the whip, I would just clean the bearing and lube it up.
