Whenever I clean my bearing it gets responsive?

I cleaned my CLYW Campfire and it became responsive. This has happened to all the yoyo’s I clean. I follow every direction, but it always comes out wrong.

-Open up bearing
-Put in mineral spirits for 5 mins
-Take out and spin dry
-Apply one drop of thin lube.

It’s extremely annoying. Whenever I attempt a trick with a pop, the yoyo smashes against my knuckles. It’s also so responsive I can’t do grinds. The strings curl up and twist my fingers around.

Help, pleaseeeee. :frowning:

Its the lube
Either break it in or play it dry

Yeah, this happened to me too the first time I tried it.

I tried again yesterday, but I didn’t put any lube, and the yoyo is totally unresponsive.

One drop, meaning one WHOLE drop?
That’s way too much.

You need about 1/8 of an actual drop.

A pin or needle will come in handy. Just pour a drop over the pin and majority of the oil drop will fall off, leaving a minuscule portion on the needle tip. Apply that on the bearing instead of the whole drop out of the bottle.

Do this. and after you put the pin drop in there, spin it on your pencil,paintbrush, stick, whatever. thats what i do and it always comes out perfect

Just play with it. It’ll get better with time.

And you can do all those tricks you mentioned (and more) with a responsive yoyo if you know how to do the trick and are smooth with your motions.

let me do it for you lol
