I have been yoyoing for about a year now and my Benchmark W Shape (I bought it about two weeks ago) has been playing unresponsive until now. I HAVE NOT LUBED THE YOYO. Also, I cannot do gyroscopic flops now for some reason… Some have said to play to let it “set in”, but I’ve been throwing for about an hour and its gotten worse, not better. Any ideas?
