You need a responsive yoyo - thick.  
I use a light grease in my raiders.

I use 3 in 1 for looping. but any high viscosity lube should work.

I prefer thin thick lube (no pun intended) like Yomega Brain lube, probably less than one drop in one side of the bearing. It’s somewhat thinner than most thick lube. I’m constantly trying to reduce the amount of lube I’m using for 2A. I used to use vaseline grease btw.

3 in 1 unless you prefer Yoyofactory, Yoyojam, Yomega, ect. I use 3-in-1.
