Okay, so I’m at the end of Advanced One, and I can’t bind anymore! I used to bind so well, and all of a sudden, I can’t bind anymore! WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING. My K-Pads are still new, I just replaced my string. What is up? Either I cant bind or I can, and whenever I can, It gets a knot or something around the bearing and won’t go down but instead comes right back up and hurts. I have tried using a bigger loop or a smaller loop, everything. Please help, I don’t know why this is happening! ---

K-pads tend to be slippy at times. i just had to used my yoyo a little more and they were fine. ---

It failed 2/3 times. When I say fail I mean either it didn’t come up, or it came up and then it knoted after I threw it again. And when you open your dv888 then screw it back together, does it make a loud squeaky noise, and then vibrate as you twist the wings back together? ---

And when you open your dv888 then screw it back together, does it make a loud squeaky noise, and then vibrate as you twist the wings back together? My 888 squeaks when I screw it back together, this is considered normal - Ben mentioned that they deliberately make their bearing seats very tight. But that second sentence doesn’t sound right, re: the vibe. Is the bearing seating all the way down on both bearing seats, maybe something got under it?? (piece of thread from the string, or chunk of pad, or carpet fuzz, etc.)?? ---

Try pulling the loop of 2 strings larger when you bind, and make sure you really pull that loop into the gap of the yoyo, as opposed to just dropping it into it. Those 2 factors can really affect your bind. Those yoyo’s have huge gaps, and once the K-pads wear down you probably just need to adjust. If you really think there’s an issue with the response, Sili one of them and see if that fixes everything. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-the-heck/5138.md?page=2)
