Hearing somebody admit that a slimline pointed out their technique flaws is really refreshing. Very true that most modern designs are incredibly forgiving. Practice on that deep state will do good things for your skills

Those look really nice, I almost picked one up but went for the solid woody instead.
I was a little disappointed with the woody to be honest, I found the gap a little too wide.

Why does it require relubing so often? Does thick lube breakdown more quickly?

I would highly recommend getting a rubber shielded C-Bearing to keep the grease/thick lube in teh bearing longer. I use rubber shielded bearings in all my responsive throws.

Thick lube breaks down, not sure how quickly, but im just not a fan of the semi responsive feel. I want my deep state super snappy. Kills the spin time, can still do brain twister and split the atom, just have to play really clean.

They’re quite common, look up R188-2RS (R188 is the common part number for C-bearings, -2RS means double rubber shield)

But i dont keep shields on bearings in general. If im being honest theyre annoying. I use yoyofactory thick lube in it. Maybe I should use a grease?

if you want to keep a responsive yoyo responsive, you need shields. lube will just leak out quick if you dont, hence my recommendation for a rubber shielded bearing. the rubber shields actually SEAL the bearing, metal shields dont actually seal.
I havent tried thick lube, so im not sure whether thick lube or grease would work better for you. i use silicone grease for all my responsive throws.

I love semi-responsive. It helps me get through some elements. I like the feeling of having training wheels.

I wouldnt call it training wheels, its for sure a style of its own to mix 1a and 0a. Its really cool.
