The gap between the bearing and response seems like it might be off(?) ![IMG_9133](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/1/9/d19052890e73452f7690476da0d578c8eaf73318.jpeg) ---

Ah, thanks for that catch. Does this look better? The gap width should be 4.5mm now. ![Screenshot 2024-07-03 113308](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/4/a/64ac81cb8287bea1e1dac35fd2bc469099009d78.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/3/7/3371c0aec244da5032f23a32a0092ff82c5f0e78.jpeg) ---

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. It’s not the gap width, but the width of the space between the bearing seat and the inner diameter of the response groove. It’s much thinner on you C bearing designs. ![IMG_9134](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/8/e/08e1271770e862307c1e1dd9229cf1bfbeb04b90.jpeg) ---

It is that way cause a D Bearing has a smaller diameter. But my CAD file might also be wrong too. [![DStarter2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/7/2/c72766f0d3b40a73eb41f50378500ea4623cd156.jpeg)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/cdn/shop/products/DStarter2-Teal_1024x1024.jpg?v=1615919269) If you look there it is smaller but the response pads themselves are also smaller too. ---

Eyeballing the yo-yos I have handy, the D bearing response groove is proportionally smaller and the metal “lip” between the ID of the response and the OD of the bearing seat is about the same as for a C bearing. This makes sense, since the string needs to be able to engage the response the same. Other than keeping the response consistent, this allows a lower overall vertical distance spanning the entire response area (if that is a goal). What actually caught my eye on the original design was how high walled it was for a design that otherwise has a pretty wide open profile. ---

It is this way because I kept it with “Standard 19mm Pads” Should I have it with smaller pads? ---

After looking at even more D bearing yo-yos, I think it is just a perception problem on my part. Maybe because your design is not typical for D bearings. So put me down for one of these too! Capstan 22 & Esper for reference ![IMG_9136](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/7/0/77061222121a3268d130ed897a5d4a89475ab63a.jpeg) ---

Organics or just higher walls and less open catch zones seems more common recently, but maybe that’t just what is catching my eye. If you can find good pictures of the Circle City Warhawk, IIRC that was designed to really optimize a competition profile for a D bearing.

Do remember respect who helped you designed it on Facebook, which is Stephen from ForYoSa. You never asked about if you can post my design somewhere else, and I’m not quite happy about it. @AtomicChessGuy please notice that this isn’t his design, I only gave him a sample screenshot of the design. ![Screenshot_20240705_124614_Facebook](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/5/9/659244e24b6e627bc087ac29406fb0c51baeb305.jpeg) ---
