thanks for reading! i did order from yoyo expert and i did receive both a responsive and unresponsive bearing. i switched them out immediately. when i threw the bounty hunter it didnt return to my hand or anything but the second i landed on the string it snapped back. after awhile though i think i broke the bearing in as well as the response pads because it got much better. i did end up switching to a center trac bearing though and was very pleased with the results
