So I have posted about this before and it wasnt so positive unfortunate. But after cleaning in a few times I must have finally freed it up. I must say, this bearing is ridiculously smooth. It is finally dead unresponsive and spins for hours on end (not literally). After I freed it up I used my KK ceramic because it seemed like an awesome bearing, but today I decided to throw in the Terrapin just to see how it played and I must say I was impressed. If you have an extra $25 to spend this is where it should go. ---

Glad you got it cleand out. The white ZrO2 (zirconium dioxide) balls, once treated, never require any lube. Just a dip and a spin in acetone when you get grit in 'em. ---

Well it played responsive from the package, and took had to be cleaned a few times. I guess shipping must have got something in there, and in there good. Haha ---

Overall it is just a flat bearing. It spins exactly as long as my twisted trifecta but a lot louder. Seems better than a one drop ten ball, but i think ill stick with twisted, flat bearings just make the yoyo topple. ---

If you are new at yoyoing they are good, I have 2. But when you get a little better you may find the TX wing cut will center the string without bunching or locking it in one place. A permanently centered string is only OK when it’s hanging. When you add another layer the yoyo will be out of balance, not good for advanced play… ---

I am newer but do wish to reach a higher level. I threw alot when the yoyo boom happened and recently learned about unresponsive play and have learned a lot of new tricks up to master level on yye(gotta learn far past that from what ive read). Im tryin to get info whenever i can. I was just thrown off on this bearing thing a bit, the yoyo seems to always get thrown off when it slides to the side of a flat bearing, ive never had trouble with the twisted being off balanced well at least the yoyo wasnt tillting over. I mean i wanna like flat but i dunno. :/. The twisted only really starts twisting on the third layer and even then with a stable yoyo like a chief it isnt hard to right itself. ---

Either way im gonna spend more time with the x wing and run it through all my throughs. I was reading how chris of clyw said that flush response is good for string centering bearings so maybe it would help to have a different response in conjuction with the x wing? ---
