One of mine has the stock flat bearing and the other has a KK bearing in it. I personally prefer the stock AIGR bearing General Yo bearing, but a KK seems to work well. ---

The stock grooved concave bearing. The pads are too grippy for a flat bearing. ---

Some Prestiges came with a Buddha Ripple (same profile as the Twisted Trifecta) and some came with flat. I haven’t found the pads extremely grippy with the flat (which is what my blasted yo came with) but they are a LITTLE grippier, so I’ve had to use thinner string to compensate until they get broken in. I haven’t tried it with anything other than the flat, but I’m loving it so far. I have a few profiled bearings lying around; maybe I’ll go for some experimenting later on. ---

Mine came with an AIGR and plays great that way. I also tried it with a KK and it too plays great that way. ---

If you post pics of the bearing I can tell you which are the 10 Balls and which are the AIGR… ---
