I just opened up my mighty flea today, and it feels super responsive. When i bind, it doesn’t even get all the way back to my hand and it’s really snaggy. Does the bearing just need to break in? Or is this an issue ?

responsive but doesnt return to your hand what do you mean by that?  
check if pads are protruding, clean the bearing.  
flea likes extra thin string as well (yyf sells “flea string”)

that yoyo basically requires the flea string, if you aren’t using it that’s likely why
