I exchanged the DM II that I got yesterday for a New Breed today. It was playing great up until a few minutes ago when it suddenly became responsive. It’s brand new so it may just be that I need to break in the bearing, but I’m not sure. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would happen? ---

Break in periods, worst part of a new bearing. if you throw an older bearing in, it should work fine ---

^^^^ Yes but you might not want to throw a old bearing in because then you’ll never break in the new one, and it will e a perfectly good bearing gone to waste. ---

My New-Breed was responsive too. All you need to do is just break it in. Wont take too long. Maybe a hour or so. A day at the most. ---

Gyro Flopping can make it around 30% faster. ---

Ha, it’s sarcasm. I’m not too sure of the 30% part, but it helps quite a bit. I’ve compared my results and it does seem quite a difference.
