Every yoyo I own comes with a speed bearing. Either it is the main bearing or it come with it. And remember: speed bearings are for UNresponsive play. Anyway, my problem is, after awhile these speed bearings I have turn responsive. Which I don’t want at all ☹ My yoyo might, when I’m doing wrist whips or something, just snaps back on its own, and it hurts my hand/wrist alot 😢 Is there anyway to fix this? Do I just have to clean it or something?Please help ???

Just clean it, then play with it. It will be responsive at first, but it will be unresponsive after a while.

Put a drop of oil in the bearing and then break it in. Problem solved.
