I can’t get it to sleep for very long, even with the dials set as far to the left as possible. I’ve been trying to look up a solution to this problem, and I’ve come to the conclusion that either I have a terrible throw (Im barely starting out), or maybe I need to get some thin lube.
My advice would be to keep at it. I’ve used both the Velocity v.2 and v.3. They’re pretty light and made out of plastic, so they don’t have the spin time of a typical metal, but they spin long enough on a good throw to get through any trick.
You don’t need any lube or special string or anything. The only thing you need is more practice.
Sounds like you just need to work on your throw. If it really isn’t getting sleep times, I’ll clean the bearing for you. YoYoFactory SPEC bearing are insane when played after a good cleaning.
Just thought I’d let you all know, there was a metal shaving inbetween that **** spacer system and the bearing. It wasn’t even spinning. Works great now.
Please remember that the spacer system used by YYF is a common problem in stuck bearing complaints. Removing the spacers and putting them back does the trick every time.
