I’ve been using codinghorror’s hyperspin technique from this thread for years now:

> Before we begin, I’d like to note that this is historically one of the most controversial topics in yo-yoing. Take it from @Tvelto: [[My Unpopular Yoyo Opinions] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoGKRyksrbM&t=12m34s) I don’t know why this is a controversial opinion, but it totally is. This is my unpopular [yo-yo] opinion that has gotten more hate than any opinion I’ve ever stated … ever. Yo-yo lube, and lubing your bearings, is essential. Bearing runs smoother, bearing runs quieter. “Oh, my yo-yo is dead smooth!” Yeah, not if you don’…

That + onedrop v4m lube has gotten me good results over the years.

I unscrewed a few yoyos on my desk at random and the bearings spin for like 15-25s with a good flick
