I got a new Yoyofactory Whip a couple days ago and was enjoying it immensely. A little while ago, I was throwing and it became responsive. I checked the bearing and the pads and they both seem fine. I even replaced the string. I’m not too sure what happened to it, anybody have any ideas?

It’s not the bearing. I’ve tried it with a spare bearing I have around and it’s the same.

The spare bearing was never used before, but I guess I’ll give it a try.

EDIT: Alright, I used yet another bearing I had around that was already clean and it was still responsive.

then maybe the pads?  
the only things that will make your whip responsive are the pads, the bearing, and possibly the string. the string is least likely to do it. If you’ve tried a clean bearing and it’s still responsive, chances are it’s your response pads.
