I can’t get my X-Convict to sleep longer than 30 seconds. Others who have bought the same X-Convict can get theirs to spin for approximately 2 minutes. How can I get my X-Convict (yoyo) to spin longer without having to by extra parts? ---

Try cleaning the bearing. Video below should explain if you have no idea how to do so. Lube not necessary.

Yeah. It is most likely your throw. With practice you’ll be getting two minutes on it. ---

You could have to break in the bearing just practice your throw and use it a lot to break in the bearing. ---

referencing to baseball, if you see a major league hitter hit a home run, i doubt you will be able to pick up that bat, get the same ball, and hit a home run too. it has more to do with the practice they put into the hit than the bat and ball. that being said, the same goes for yoyoing.
