> [@GregP](#): > > Could be the response. Is it slightly raised from being flush? The Werrd Minute ships like that. Slows right down during certain kinds of tricks. The whole gyro “flop” comes from the pull, and how you move the string… I can do it on a stock Lyn Fury, where the response is not flush, proving that the whole flop is from technique. ---

Sure! It’s definitely technique. Just like when we used to lose spin trying to get through Skin the Gerbil, our skill wasn’t quite up to it. But it was implied that the author can get through a flop on other yoyos and just not this one. I was simply wondering what was different about this one… and it could indeed be the response, coupled with a need to improve technique. :wink: My technique isn’t awful, but the raised response on my Werrd Minute causes massive loss of spin sometimes. If I played so clean that I could get through my tricks even on a fully responsive yoyo, then I would be less concerned because my technique trumps that sub-part setup. However, the fact is that I do lose spin whereas on yoyos with recessed response, I don’t. Also, when I put a CT into the Minute, the profile helps keep the string away from the response. Similar thing happened here! Popped in a CT and it was fine! In other words: you are probably right in general. But that doesn’t mean that the setup of the yoyo can’t be optimized. To throw another idea out there: are we absolutely sure the bearing is totally unresponsive? A well-lubed bearing is going to lose spin faster on a flop, too. It worked OK on the CT, but it might not be the profile but rather the spin of the replacement. ---
