    I am going to say this and risk eternal damnation:

    How can one claim that one must have a dead smooth yoyo and then run dry bearings? It just doesn't make sense!

    Dry bearings = noise

    Noise= vibration

    vibration doesn't = smooth

    Conclusion: You guys that demand perfectly smooth yoyos and run dry bearings don't know what smooth is. (HAHA)


    Come on now, don't just sit there. Let's hear your rebuttal.

    Wrong forum, skitrz. Take it to Yoyoexpert.
    At least 15% of what I say is true.

    I saw this somewhere today:

    "Trollin', trollin', trollin', keep them comments trollin'..."

    Skitrz, unless you play your yoyos at 0 Kelvin, they will be vibrating. ALWAYS

    <--- agrees with Skitrz

    personally I don't look for dead smooth yoyo's, dead smooth means perfect, and there is no one perfect yoyo, I hope from every yoyo I get that there is some ammount of vibe, weather it's like a plastic, or if it's a metal smooth enough to play, personally the only time I feel the vibe in anything is when I grind, and even though I do that a lot it doesn't really bug me because I prefer flaws over perfection, proves it's just that much more human.

    Dry bearings=dry bearings. I run my bearings dry and have not had a problem with any of them. If you keep them clean you'll have no problems.

    I've also noticed that a lightly lubed bearing plays and feels much smoother. I think a dry bearing has some vibe to it.

    ExAzreal don't know a thing. His yoyo has extra long 12 minute slip time, but he can't even do braintwister.

    lol, its sad that this is still probably the most mature yoyo forum out there.

    and I usually run my bearings dry, but if there is a problem I will clean/lube them depending on how the bearing is acting.
