Most of the No Jives I see have some sort of engraved logo on them; wouldn’t that have string friction/response consequences when assembled in butterfly mode?
Not in a negative way. I mean the ones with heavy engraving probably shouldn’t be played with the engraving on the inside but standard ones with text are fine. @edhaponik has a video showing how he sets them up for play.

Nice!
I can’t even land a trapeze with my Morrow without it winding back up on me.

I’m ready to embark on it now that the polyurethane stain has fully cured on the Morrow. I also have a Harbinger coming in the mail this week. Still early days!

Question… What lube is recommended for a modern responsive? Noticing that after a couple years of play, my Confusion is beginning to break in and not quite respond as I’d like. Anything I can just pick up at the store (easier than having to pay shipping) or is it better to use something formulated for yoyos?
I currently use the one drop lube for my unresponsives.

Polyeurothane stain? What from?
I stained my plain maple Morrow. The mahogany stain is a stain + poly finish mixture from Varathane.

I’m glad that’s what you meant by ‘stain’ and not some accident or axle experiment.

I use Super Lube 51010 in the pen applicator based on suggestions from around the internet for responsive yoyo lube and it seems to work well.

I’ve heard people say 3 in 1 oil is good. When I had an OG AlleyCat? I packed the bearing with bicycle grease. Some allegedly use Vaseline. I’m guessing if you put a few drops of the One Drop Lube in, that would work too.
