Why Won’t My Yoyo Sleep Longer? How to Test and Fix your Yoyo Spin Time 

yotricks i bought the shutter without knowing it is an unresponsive I guess I will have to learn unresponsive even thought I’m super noob and know like nothing

I suggest you check out our Brain-Twister video. This is the first string trick you should learn, and we teach a very easy bind in that video that will make learning to bind as easy as possible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v-V9KngiL2Y.html

you*

Lorenzo Dumalag if it’s “You’re” then it’s “you are”

Adam Osinski you're right

Same I be using my yoyo 24/7

I agree!

Happy to help!

I don't agree

do you live in the US?

Is it true if you take out the o ring it will stop the auto return

The Oracle is designed to play more responsive than the Sage. This is because the Oracle is designed for looping tricks, and the Sage for string tricks. If you want the Sage to play as responsive as the Oracle you can either lube the bearing with thick yoyo lube, or you can wrap the string one or two additional times around the bearing when you put the string onto the bearing. You may also want to try changing the string on the Sage to see if that helps.

kubrix1222 terraria?

Ha. Get pojinx

kill the empress of light with the zenith

you will need bettle armor + if you want to use a yoyo

@@snowboi9904 it's sad that i only have mobile 1.3 terraria

In almost all cases the problem is the bearing. The bearings in magic yoyos are notorious for being hit and miss. It sounds like you may have gotten a bad one. If you have a different bearing you can replace it. You can also try cleaning it to see if that helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4LQ62wy0qjI.html

Hey, Thanks for the advice! I actually lubed it a tiny bit and now it looks like its fine. Thanks again and keep up the great work, your channel is the best!

Not sure of the exact length, but Paul tends to use strings on the longer side.

@@Joanyan nah ur not ok 11 minutes and 30 seconds is NOT enough

If you want it to play unresponsive you need to replace the bearing with a wider bearing. yoyotricks.com/shop/yoyo-store/yoyo-brands/yoyofactory/yyf-center-trac-yoyo-bearing/

Zero____ same

Those pads are good for the Shutter. It is okay if they are not completely flush.

If it doesn't sleep at all then most likely the string is caught between the yoyo and the bearing. Take the yoyo apart, remove the string, put the yoyo together, then put the string back on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jJrtgrGmZQk.html

;)

It is.

Well my velocity is coming on Firday

thats normal, when the yoyo lands on the string that causes more friction which slows the yoyo down

buy thin yo yo strings.

With a straight and powerful throw it should sleep 30 seconds or so.

Red Rocker buy a magic yoyo skyva it’s only 20 and it mostly kills every other yoyo

All Things Nintendo thank you I will

Yes.

yotricks Ok, thanks for the help! Keep up the great content.

Usually 7-10 days.

Responsive yoyos make the basics easier, but unresponsive yoyos are better for the more difficult tricks. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wOAexIykv_I.html

Yoyo specific lube is more important for unresponsive yoyos than responsive. If it is making the yoyo play as responsive as you like, it should be fine. The reason thin yoyo specific lube is preferred is because no one that I have found makes any lube that is as thin as need be for the way unresponsive yoyos play. If your responsive yoyo is sleeping for 30 seconds that is on the lower side of normal for a responsive yoyo.

it indeed plays unresponsive well, and after some vigorous pinwheels and other kind of practice, the sleep time is much better. i guess i had indeed a bit too much lub in the bearing. from what i understand, lube for unresponsive play should be as thin as possible to allow for very low friction at high and low speed and avoid any kind of responsive behavior (while having much better sleep times). for responsive play, the lube has to be thick to some extend so that when there's little to no tension in the string, the lube create friction that will make the outside of the bearing spin and start winding the string, until it touch the response pads. before lubing that yoyo, i could give very unreasonable amounts of slack without having it winding back when my throw was perfectly straight, because the string wouldn't touch the response pads. from what i found about yoyo lube formulas, you could use most ptfe based lubes as long as they are meant for light weight parts moving at high speeds. then, the viscosity of the lube will play on it's performances at lower speeds and loads. since the thicker lube is necessary for responsive yoyos, i guess the only way to increase sleep time is adding weight. i have a bad yoyo with plastic teeth instead of response pads, but a heavy body made of steel, and it get a comparable sleep time despite being thrown at an imperfect angle (did i mention i made the string from roasting string).

You can get an o-ring at any hardware store. If you lube the axle with thick yoyo lube, it will still come back up when you pull on it, even without the o-ring.

The spinstar is a transaxle that is designed to work with a single loop. They can be a little hit or miss, I am told - so far all the one I have used work well. You should be able to tighten it as far as it will go for it to work properly. Just make sure you are using the thinnest string you have - ideally 100% polyester. All that being said it is not designed to compete on the same level as the other yoyos you have. It is designed to be easy (that is, to throw it down and get it back up), not to be a top performer. Once you can do a basic throw, in most cases you are ready to swap up to another yoyo.

@@yotricks Damn dude, reply to a 4yr old post. That is heart warming. You and your media are already an incredible resource and I do greatly appreciate it, whether it is you or a team. Just learned the plastic whip w/ bind. Anyway, I've been trying to use the spinstar for looping and when I tighten it all the way the string gets bit by the starburst pattern or teeth w/e the name. Using Evan Nagao edge string that I read was probably rebranded Knot-Bad string. I tried Mowl fat string to try some longer string but neither work optimally. I'll pickup some thin string to test out. As is I can eventually get it to be a good sleeper that isn't as responsive as I like or a very responsive that doesn't always sleep on command. The fact that I've set it up and it's worked very well at least once or twice is kind of what makes me think I'm the one being inconsistent but to save frustration I'll prob move on to different yoyo either way. I think for now I'm going to pickup a Sochi Loop Spinner mostly b/c of aesthetics and eventually a Match set b/c they sound more ideal for doubling up and having 2 mostly identical throws will help with consistency there. Thanks again, bud. I don't think I would have gotten back into yoyo with the same passion if your videos and app weren't available as you've made it incredibly easy to trigger dopamine hits and it's really been a lot of fun.

Awesome. You definitely want to move on to a different yoyo for loops. The shape of the Spinstar is ok but not great for loops. With the right string setup you can definitely learn 1 or 2, but not much beyond that. 👍

The Velocity is a responsive yoyo... although you can set it up to play unresponsive as well.

Not really, no.

It has bearings

Do not put wd40 in a yo-yo bearing

doing that will also destroy your pads

What you are describing doesn't really make sense to me. Are you saying that if you drop the yoyo, palm down, it sleeps for 10-12 seconds, but if you throw it very hard and perfectly straight it only sleeps 3 seconds longer at most? That seems to defy the laws of physics. I cannot imagine what the problem might be.

John Cooper Ok. Hopefully the Sage will work better for you. The K1 has a reputation for being pretty awful.

If your goal is to quickly get to unresponsive play, you should be okay.

The yo-yo is a CLYW Akita. My other yo-yos don’t have this problem.

If the only issue is the sound, then that alone does not indicate any problem.

You don't need a credit card. You can also use paypal.

Is the 12 seconds the drop test, or with your strongest throw?

@@yotricks it wasn’t quite my strongest throw but I cleaned it and it’s working a lot better now. Thanks for responding

Awesome!

Suhaimi Ahmad blazing teens x best. Haram kalau beli

Sounds good.

He never told us

awsomancoolness lol

@@zippykip2600 dont worry he'll get back to us when the yoyo stops, hes halfway done

I’d suggest if you use it for hours every day then you need to change it every day. But if you don’t then maybe like 2 times a week?

Noel Madrigal I mean if your ever short on strings then 1 time every 3 weeks should be fine but I used to practice every day for abt 6 hours so my stings would wear out easy

Bearings being loud is not a "problem" in the sense that it is bad for the yoyo or hurts performance. If you put in enough lube, over time the bearings will become silent, but they also won't sleep as long.

Do you know why it does it? But thank you, I will take that into consideration!

It is just the sounds of steel touching steel within the bearing. In order for there to be no noise enough lube needs to be in the bearing that there is little to no direct contact. This also slows down the bearing, which keeps it from spinning as long.

Ok thanks! How come none of yours do that? (Sorry if I'm being a hassle, I'm just curious!)

All of the yoyos we use in our videos make noise, but the yoyo is far enough away from the microphone that the video does not pick up much of the sound.

If you take out the ring it will no longer return automatically. It may be responsive or a little unresponsive depending on the yoyo.

Great thx

Pearson Gaming sage can be unresponsive if you get unresponsive bearing and lube

Ahmet Baykır on their website it says it’s an responsive with unresponsive bearing that you can put in it

The old Sage Starter pack only had thick lube. We updated it so it now also has thin lube and an unresponsive bearing.

yotricks oh, alright thanks yotricks! But does it still have that tape so it doesn’t hurt your finger?

I don't think it includes the finger wrap any more.

Rexly Bearings vary like that. I would put a little line in the bearing, that should quiet it down.

yotricks what do you mean little line? Another things your saying the sound just Varys right, man I feel so much better about my yoyo

Rexly a little lube. Autocorrect!

yotricks hmm okay got it but should I use thin or thick lube? it’s a very responsive yoyo after all

Thick.

It has been so long since the One Star was made, most likely the bearing in it has started to deteriorate. Your best bet is to replace the bearing. You could also try cleaning it first. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4LQ62wy0qjI.html

yotricks I've already cleaned it and lubed it but it's still the same so thanks for the advice. I'll buy a new bearing. I'm not gonna stop yoyoing
