+Alex Lian Do you want to make it responsive? What kind of bearing does a Merlin use?
Is a Side kick pro yo-yo good or not please respond
+Christopher Anderson You should use thin yoyo lube on the Velocity. You can try other things besides yoyo finger wrap, but we have not found anything as effective.

Git gud
I can't believe how smooth this made my Sage yoyo. The past week or so, I really thought I was getting worse instead of better. Sometimes the yoyo just wouldn't come back, though I was landing my string tricks more than ever. I unconsciously started throwing the yoyo harder and faster to get it to come back.
I thought it was my string. It's been two week since I got my Sage from yoyotricks and the string was no longer "fluffy". It was hard, getting "thin" and twisty (around 2/3 hrs a day practice). So a few days back I ordered new strings and the thick lube - though I have to admit I was skeptical about the lube helping. I wasn't really sure how it could help. I was sure the new strings would do it.
I got both strings and thick lube today. First thing I did was change strings. Eagerly I tried it out, but no luck! The yoyo was as unresponsive (never really understood that word till today!) as ever. It would wind round and round the yoyo, but wouldn't come back up. I was really sad and depressed. Then I thought I might as well change the lube even though I didn't see how it would work.
I followed the instructions in this video and gave the Sage a toss.
Oh. My. God. First thing I notice is the almost complete silence while the yoyo spun. Before the lube, it used to "whir" and make a _huge_ racket. The first throw after lubing was so quiet! And then...a slight tug...and it came back to me! I was so shocked, I almost didn't catch it - it was awesome! The yoyo was never this good even when new.
So it was the lube all along. I had to see it to believe it. Not the string, but the lube. I guess I don't really understand the mechanics of the yoyo fully, which is why I didn't believe the lube would help. I never previously understood words like "responsive" and "unresponsive", and now I know. There are no other words that can be used.
For the past hour, I've been throwing breakaways, forward tosses, man on the flying trapeeze, and around the world as I went to have my daily afternoon coffee. I was actually singing away, still marveling at how the Sage kept returning to my hand almost immediately. Once again...wow!
Few observations. Is it my imagination, but has the lube reduced spin times a bit? I'm not really sure. I feel it doesn't come back with the same _force_ as the unlubed yoyo...or is that a function of the string? Do older strings give higher spin times? Maybe I should put on the old string on the new lubed yoyo and do a comparison.
Second, the new strings you sent over were much longer than the one I got pre-packaged with the Sage. I learnt later that the yoyo is supposed to touch the ground when it starts at your belly button. But I've gotten used to doing my tricks with a shorter string and I don't like the feel of the longer one. So I cut it to what I'm used to - the length of the string when I first got the yoyo. Is that ok?
Finally, the new strings seem...I don't know..more _elastic_? I like it. Do strings lose that over time?
Thanks for the awesome products and the great video. This lube makes me feel like I have a whole new yoyo - better than even when it was new!
+Bhagwad Park Thick lube will reduce spin times a bit, especially compared to a dry bearing, which is practically what you were using at the end there. This is a big reason why players prefer completely unresponsive yoyos.
It is okay to use the string short, but I would suggest adding two inches or so as it will make a few more tricks possible as you get better.
Stings are more elastic when they are new.
Thanks for all the feedback. It is difficult to communicate how important all the little details - like lube - are for new players. We always appreciate hearing how things play out in really life for people using our products. Keep in touch as you progress and let us know how things are going and if there is something you feel we could do better.
yotricks Wow, I didn't know that unresponsive yoyos had such high sleep times. So if I've mastered the "Man on the flying trapeze" and want to get into unresponsive yoyo'ing, which one do you recommend as a starter? Am I right that unresponsive yoyos are not the same as the ones for looping (Oracle etc)?
You are right. I would recommend getting an unresponsive bearing for your Sage to start. Since you are already so familiar with that yoyo you will immediately appreciate all the benefits.

yotricks Thank you! I'll do that as soon as I get back from my vacation! Appreciate the help :)
I just purchased the Classic Pro yoyo pack instead. I didn't want the hassle of taking out a bearing and putting in a new one each time for responsive/unresponsive play. Hope that's a good choice!
I haven't lubed my sage yet but when I take it apart the bearing is on the axle side. Plus can I take the bearing out with pliers
Seth Chester u probably need a yo-yo tool a good one is the yoyofactory multi tool:)
+Alex Lian It does not.
Hi
+Viper Sting Thick lube is supposed to make yoyos responsive. I suggest you either try using thin lube or cleaning the bearing.
I am getting a dv888 and its responseive what lube do I use
You could use either thick or thin for that yoyo.
+yotricks thanks for responding
+Joel Oelze You will only need to lube your sage when you want it to play more responsive than it is already playing. You can use vaseline instead of thick yoyo lube, but it will not spin as long.
yotricks ok thanks!
yotricks Would you recommend using coconut oil? it is essentially the same thing as far as I know.
I would not recommend using coconut oil.
yotricks my yo-yo won't sleep and all the tactics in your other video didn't work what do I do
What kind of yoyo is it?
Thank you for all your videos! I know they are many years old, but I am going through them all one by one to learn yoyo'ing to teach my kids. This maintenance video was great! Now my daughter's purple fizz spins and sounds like it did when she first opened it. She can do 10 around the worlds with it instead of 2. Thank you!
Can u plz come up with a diy lube, I don't have much money
Seth Romero Sorry dude but you can buy five dollar lube and 5 string of of amazon and it’s prime ;)
It actually cost a bit more to make your own rather than buying a bottle of lube
How does the lube increase responsiveness though? I thought responsiveness was up to the pads/starburst and string?
Should I lube the bearing first out of the box? I ordered The Oracle but I have some doubts to play it out of the box.
When you buy a yo-yo it will ALWAYS be pre lubed if it wasn’t then it would be unresponsive out of the box
I was trying to get my bearing out, (I did get it out) but now the hole the screw goes into looks scratched up. Is that a problem?
Could I also use this for butterfly knives?
Is it ok to remove a half spec bearing from a sage with pliers?
Brecken Courtright It is.
Could I use my Rubik's Cube lube for my Aluminum Yoyo ?
We do not recommend using Rubiks Cube Lube for your yoyo.
What if my yoyo doesn’t come with bearing removers? I bought the sage starter pack and it didnt come with bearing removers. Can I just put the lube on the bearings itself?
I recently got a Yomega Fireball. I use it to do basic string tricks like Barrel Roll and Split the Atom. I looked up some yoyo lube on my local online shopping platforms and I saw three options. There's thick lube which they use for loopong yoyos, there are two types of thin lubes. One is for semi-responsive play and the other is Mk II thin which is for unresponsive play. I chose the thin one which is also said to be for looping yoyos too, albeit semi-responsive. Is this one okay? Or should I go for the thick lube? Thank you!
When I opened the lube the tip that allows you to squeeze out drops came out
Thank you very much, i was worried my yoyo was broken, but then I got the idea to use lube. Glad i don't do it on my own, cause the process is way different than I'd think 😆
You said the lube will pack up in the bearing, is it ok if I wash the bearing with water to clean it up and then lube it again?
I would not recommend using water. This lube is very clean. If it makes your bearing spin a little less then just keep using it, the lube will thin out on its own.
With my oracles, will deshielding the bearing improve or deprive the bearing?
In my experience there is no reason to de-shield the bearing. I think it will cause to you need to lube them more.
For a yoyo like the recess first base, how can I switch between the responsive and unresponsive bearing without getting thick lube in the unresponsive bearing?
Hey quick question. I’ve lubed my sage once now and I feel that it is a little too responsive for some tricks. Is it time to switch to unresponsive play?
It is never too early to switch to unresponsive. That being said, the yoyo will get less responsive as you use it.
YoTricks Awesome.Thank You
The blue bottle of yoyo factory lube is thick or thin??..In its description, it is written performance oil for long spin..i have magic yoyo n8
That is their thin lube.
thick/thin lube is not available in our country(online). And it's so rare to find one, also on online, the shipping cost is too expensive(like $150 from us) to ship to our place. There's no other way other than using alternate lube.
I have use this lube on the ONE and Sage to have better Responsive play but now it not sleeping as long. Is it possible that I may have put the bearing on wrong?
+D-Raptor 1261 At first the yoyos do not sleep as long when they are lubed. After a while they will sleep like they did before.
Is there a video to lube yo-yos with small bearings like the loop 720s and the Match?
still thick. Small Bearings is for responsive most of the time, Big bearings is for unresponsive.
Are bearings supposed to be loud my sage came in a few days ago and I've been using it for a while now and it was fairly noisy from out of the box I used thin yoyo lube on it but it is still noisy is this normal
That is normal for the slim bearing that came in the Sage, yes.
I think I might have goofed!
So I got (at least what I think is) thick yoyo lube from Amazon. Since I didn't see this specific product there, I bought something else. On the bottle it says "Yoyo Factory performance oil (loop/response). For classic and Looping play." Sounds about like what I'm looking for (And comes in a bottle not too different from the one in this video). I've used it on my Duncan Bumble Bee. While it's become more responsive after I've cleaned it and used the "performance oil" on it, it doesn't quite have the "Out of the box" response it once had. Did I purchase the incorrect item, clean it improperly, or lube it improperly? Thanks.
That is the right lube, most likely you just need to add a bit more, especially since you cleaned it. That being said, old school yoyos like the bumble bee are notoriously difficult to get like they do when they are new. The person who designed the bumble bee recognized that problem and more recently brought the Oracle to market which keeps it's original response much much longer.

Yotricks , all my previous yoyo bearing rusted,how can I prevent that?
Tan Le Shen Lube should help, but it may be a climate issue. I have never had a bearing rust, myself, but I have bought yoyos from some places that are a bit more humid, and the bearings in those yoyos do come rusted some times. It seems like if you play with your yoyo often enough, and keep it lubed that should keep the bearing from getting rusted, though.
yotricks Thanks
You should also know:
If your yoyo is going through long periods of not being used, then you should lube it before you put it away to preserve your bearing. Oxygen in air reacts with metals to make rust, the lube (aka oil) seals the metal from the air. Don't let you bearing go dry.
Can I use Vaseline to lube the yoyo. Will this increase the speed and sleep time of the yoyo.
When you put the lube in the bearing seat, have you ever had it touch the response? I have lubed many yoyos lately and if I made the mistake of getting the lube on the response, it would fall out within 1 day of play.
ryanc29os It is best to avoid getting lube on the response system for the reason you mentioned.
is the dominator easy to get broken because i heard some people say that the yoyo is good for two weeks then the axel breaks off has that ever happened to you?
Valleria Rich I have never seen that happen. The Dominator has not been made for a few years, though. A much better option that is available is the Oracle.
yoyotricks.com/yoyo-store/yotricks/oracle-yoyo/
I bought a YYF Velocity, what lube should i use? I'm still learning, should i play it dry, till I start to learn unresponsive tricks?
Btw, thanks for the great videos.
When you lube it use thin yoyo lube. Only use a tiny amount, or it might make it play responsive even in unresponsive mode. I suggest you play it dry for at least an hour before lubing it.
@yotricks how do you make a yoyo more responsive without using thick lube? i play unresponsive but my new replay pro but the binds are too "slippery" and loose for me. i want to increase responsiveness without slowing down the spin too much.
I seem to have the same problem some times with my replay also
So does the thick lube also extend the life of the bearing like the thin lube does?
I hace a question
Q: can I use _THIN_ yoyo lube but repeatedly for responsive yoyo's??????
please answer
? Can you reword your question, I’m not sure what you mean
I was thinking about getting the sage pro pack, and I noticed it only came with the thin lube, which is supposed to be used for the unresponsive bearing. Is it safe to use the thin lube for the responsive one? Or do I have to buy thick lube in addition to the pro pack?
If you use the thin lube for the responsive bearing, it may make it play less responsive than you would like. If you are planning to use the yoyo as a responsive yoyo for a long time it is a good idea to get thick lube as well.
I lubed my yoyo several times now, but it is still inconsistant, because sometimes it just wont come back an other times it comes back to fast. Im using the yoyofactory loop/response lube for the yoyofactory arrow elite
Lube will thin out over time. If the yoyo is not consistently responsive right after you lube, that means you are not putting in enough. Another thing you can try, however, is to wrap the string around the bearing one or two more times when you put it on the yoyo. That may make it play as consistent as you like.
can i use the krytox 205g0 or the super lube 51010 on a responsive yoyo bearing??
Super Lube, yes.
Please help, I have been using my yoyo for 3 days and it already needs lubricating. But for some reason the lube cap wont come off. WHAT DO I DO?
This was 3 yrs ago but just push down and twist lol I bet you already knew that tho by now
my yoyo bearing is not spinning fast now its just not spinning that much after i lubed it
I have 5 rubik's cube lubes, Weight 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Weight 1 is very light and Weight 5 is very thick. Should I be using an Weight 3-4 lube for a responsive yoyo then?
That sounds about right.
What would you recommend for someone who would like to switch between responsive and unresponsive bearings "on-the-fly" style? Would the two lubes end up interacting with each other and cause issues?
Also, as a joke: why not combine the two and make a universal lube that you can use for responsive and unresponsive yoyos? Gosh, bad bisnuss practices, forcing your customers into buying more things! *LOUD, EXASPERATED SCOFF*
Not sure what you mean by "on the fly" but if you want a yoyo that can go back and forth without changing the bearing - like the Velocity - you only need thin lube. However, if you want a yoyo that switches bearings you will need both lubes.
It would be nice if one lube worked, but for lube to be thick enough to make a yoyo play responsive it will automatically be too thick to allow a different bearing to play unresponsive. We can dream though ;)
yotricks what I mean by "on the fly" is that it means that you would switch them out whenever you want. What I want to know is if I would have to clean the thick lube off the yoyo before I put an unresponsive bearing in, or if it'll be just fine leaving it be. I only ask because it would seem that because of the application methods, that thick lube would end up getting into an unresponsive bearing.
Ahhhh, I understand. I would recommend wiping off the yoyo to get the thick lube off. It is easy enough, it could be done with toilet paper, a paper towel... your sleeve. It will not leave any residue so there is no problem.
can I use yomega brain lube on my responsive replay yoyo?
hello just a quick question um I noticed that when adding thick lube to the bearing seat instead of directly on the bearing that it makes less noise but doesn't reduce the spin time as much as applying it directly on a responsive yoyo so would doing that with an unresponsive yoyo make it responsive and another thing I heard that silicone oil for like guns n stuff works ok on unresponsive yoyos is that true?
+Kevin Velazco I have not tried gun oil, but my guess is that it is not thin enough for unresponsive yoyos. Unresponsive lube is not meant to affect how yoyos play, it is only to protect the bearing, so it should only be applied to the bearing itself, and not the yoyo. It could make the yoyo responsive if it is applied wrong.
yotricks oh ok thanks for your help and I'll be sure to pick up a bottle of thin lube from your store
How long can I make my Sage play responsively before lubing it?
Also what are some replacements for thick lube?
U can use vaseline but it wint spin as long
I am buying a stage starter pack and a pro pack is this a good chois for my I am a starter I know the basic tricks
Yes the sage is very good for beginners
Would something like GAN lube for cubing be good for yo yo’s?
I just got my DV888 unresponsive kit from yotricks and it only came with thin lube. Is it ok to use on both bearings or would I have to buy thick lube for the responsive bearing?
emilsal The regular bearing really doesn't need lube to perform properly, because the response pads are overly thick. You could use thin lube on it to protect it, and the yoyo should still work fine.
Can I use wd40 if im using a metal yo-yo?
We do not recommend it. WD-40 is a degreaser, not a lube. It pretty much does the opposite of what you are looking for from yoyo lube.
I got a pair of Loop360s, I lubed it but it isn't as responsive as I like them to be for 2a. I did this but it doesn't help.
You may want to try thicker string, then. Or lube them again. Sometimes when they are new you need to lube them a few times before the lube goes all the way through the bearing.
I got a YYF lube but it the end is thick so I would like to know how to apply lube for that
Hey, a few months ago I bought the Arrow Elite from YoYo Factory. A few weeks ago it stopt responding properly so I did my research and found out that you need to lube certain YoYos. So I bought the YoYo Factory lube for loop/responsive play. At least thats what it said. I applyed it just like the Vid states and for like half an hour it was fine. But then it was the same as before. Looking at the Amazon page of the order, the bottle i got looks different than the one in the picture but the same as their "decrease responsibility" lube. Could it be that i got the wrong lube or could it be something else? because everytime i apply the lube, the yoyo spins fine for jjust half an hour or even less. On top of that the yoyo seems to spin way less long.
That means that the response pads are worn out. Once you replace those it should work like new again.
@@yotricks Thank you very much. Will try that. But in my case the response Pads dont look worn off like in your video. So will it still help then?
@@yotricks So I did replace the response Pads and I also replaced the String and lubed it again. And for like a few Hours it was Fine, but know its become quite unresponsive again. Also I would say it lost Spin Time too. Could it have something to do with the Ball-bearing? Because tbh I dont know what I Even could still replace.
Hey, I’ve recently bought my first yoyo in a store. Its a responsive yoyo with a ball bearing. However, because of my location i cannot purchase any lube online because the shipping would just increase the price too much. What alternatives could there be? Is there any place that has the lube i need? There is a skateboard shop near me.
I read vaseline can work. I’m goingto test it out rn
@@hafsarazzaq929 did it work?
This is great! Can you make a video with some other Green Triangle tricks? I want to end my tricks better
Roy van Vorst Good idea. I'll talk to the guys about it.
Is there somethinf I could use instead of that thin lube? Buying it from your shop makes it because of transport pretty expensive for me. I play with a Shutter.
pikolino210 Other yoyo companies also make thin lube that works. Perhaps a local store might carry that. I have not yet tried any alternative to thin lube that works properly.
yotricks so will trumpet valve oil work with my unresponsive yoyo?
I have heard that it can, but I have not tried it myself. I have also heard that several other things "work" when in fact they will make your yoyo play responsive, so I am not sure I fully trust these reports regarding trumpet valve oil.
Is Yoyojam lube same as Yoyo factory lube?The shop that i go to only has Yoyojam lube.
+DeathMarkz Growtopia That lube will work, just make sure not to put in too much or you will need to clean your bearing.
I just reciever my thick lube on Saturday and now my yo-yo is acting unresponsive again (it's Monday now). Do I just need to lube it again or what? Didn't think you were supposed to use it that often.
Sooo let's say I have an unresponsive yoyo but I want to make it responsive. Would applying think lube like you did here make It responsive? Or would I have to just replace the bearing?
Carlos Martinez In some cases think lube will make the yoyo responsive, but it all depends on the yoyo.
yotricks Would it work for a Dash?
It should.
When should we lube a yoyo..can you tell a time period..please reply fast
You should lube a yoyo when it needs it, as we describe in this video. There is not time period.
So my responsive bearing on my sage has started to make a VERY slight Gritty or ringing noise recently. I can see the lube on the yoyo if I look at the bearing seat in the light, and have only taken the yoyo apart a few times, and never removed the bearing completely. Spinning it by hand with the yoyo apart feels smooth as butter, just as I first got it. Any help before I start attempting stuff will be very helpful.
What you are describing is normal, and not really problematic. I say "not really" because it does not affect overall performance, but I could understand if one finds it annoying. Lubing the bearing with thick yoyo lube should help. If you don't have any you can also put a little Vaseline in the bearing. This will slow it down a little, but it should take care of the noise.
yotricks alright, I just wanted to be sure, because it was dead silent for the first couple of days (which I also thought was odd, but it seems fine from what you say.)
I also want to ask if RUclips is the most convenient way to respond to your customers, because I have attempted contact on the site on Friday and on Twitter yesterday, and haven't gotten any reply from either.
I don't think we do much interacting on Twitter yet. We answer customer emails on weekdays, but not as often on the weekends. If you have a question about an order you will need to go through the site, but for tricks or general maintenance, youtube will probably be faster in most cases - and your question might help someone else who has the same issue ;)
How do you know if it's thin or thick? I have the lube bottle that comes with the Yomega brain 5 string + lube kit
If you shake the bottle and it splashes like water, it is thin. If it does not it is thick.
I have a sage yoyo and i need to lube it but dont have enough money for lube what should i do?
You can use vaseline. It won't spin as long but it will make it play more responsive.
I have a new responsive dv888 and with a hard level throw and a new string it sleeps under 30 seconds. I'm new so I don't want to obsess over gear but the yoyo dies before I can make corrections in my tricks like Man on the Flying Trapeze. I'm assuming this is not a lube situation. any thoughts?
I should say I'm new to string tricks. I've been casually throwing on and off for a number of years.
30 seconds on a responsive yoyo is not bad, actually. Unresponsive yoyos sleep much, much longer. Lube will not help, as the lube is only designed to make the yoyo more responsive, not to help it sleep longer. Have you watched the Trapeze tutorial we posted today, we give some tips in there that might help extending your spin times with the yoyo on the string.
yotricks I watched casually once. I'll go back over it. Thanks so much! You're videos are such an inspiration. It's not easy to take this kind of challenge on at 38 but the step by step assumption free style of your videos make these monumental tasks seem possible. You've got me psyched to throw 4 sometimes 5 hours many days a week.
Being close to the same age myself, that is encouraging to hear. I still love learning tricks and practicing long hours. It is cool to hear that others in the same place in life appreciate the work we put into these videos. Thanks!
I love your tutorials
Thanks!
Can you use something besides yoyo finger wraps?
I ordered thick lube with my sage and the receipt it came with says it should be in the package but it's not 😧
Does something to take the baring of come in the starter pack
The sage starter pack
when are you going to have more unleashed colors back in stock?
Valleria Rich Unfortunately, the one color we have is the only color YoYoJam is making available at this time, so we currently do not have the ability to get other colors. They typically add a new color once every month or two. As soon as they have them we will get more.
Will coconut milk hair cream work? It’s decently slippery, while kinda thick.
I have found a number of different things work for thick lube. The only way to know is if you try.
I mean, it kinda works. I’ve tried.
It’s this. I usually apply it with an ear swab. A fresh one.

When I lube my yoyo after 30 min it is not very responsive again. I have the sage. What do I do?
If you would like it to play more consistently responsive you can wrap the string around the bearing an additional time or two when you put the string on. This will increase its overall level of responsiveness.
Thank you yotricks
How often should I be doing this? Is it just a feel sort of situation? This is my first foray into throwing a proper yoyo (my previous best is was a Fireball). I received my Sage 3 days ago and out of the box it was completely unresponsive with the included string. Luckily one of the 10 pack that I ordered worked (kind of) but I found I really had to yank back up and the yoyo wouldn't wind clean. There would be a lot of slack around the bearing before it would return. Lubed it and it got a little better. Double looped the string, got a little better But that was short lived. The last attempt seemed to really help since I added more lube than the previous time. trouble is, it's already back to being super inconsistent. Could it be that I just need to let it build up a bit and then I'll have to do this less often?
I'm sure part of the issue is me dealing with a learning curve here but the fact that it was basically unresponsive out of the box has me slightly concerned. Fortunately I bought the starter kit so I have everything I need to tweak it or I would have a yoyo I couldn't use.
Sorry this is long. Love your content and despite all this above I'm actually seeing improvement.
Thanks
The unresponsiveness of the Sage when it was new does not signal a deficiency in the yoyo. It just means the factory didn't lube the bearing as much as they should have. The fact that putting a lot of lube in the bearing worked showed that the yoyo is working as expected. With the Sage it is designed to allow a range of responsiveness depending on how lubed the bearing is. How long are you able to play after lubing the bearing to the level of responsiveness that you prefer?
@@yotricks I didn't mean to imply a deficiency... sorry I worded that slightly wrong. I tend to play in smaller spurts of anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 each time over the course of the day so it's made it a little tough for me to track total time. I will try to pay closer attention since it has been anywhere between half day to a little more than a day. I start to hear a little more sound out of the bearing than it starts getting unresponsive on all but my hardest throws so when it does grab it rockets back. This kind of makes ending tricks a little frustrating since I have to rush or end them early just to have the yoyo come back way to fast for me to catch or wait a little longer and have it not respond at all. I'm sure this is a learning curve issue. When watching some of your vids I notice you talking for quite a while (with no edits) and yours comes back up with just a little tug. that is obviously my end goal lol. When I lube it lately I try your lube the channels that the bearing sits in method then a drop or two in the bearing if needed (which is usually). Thanks for responding (since I haven't found anyone local to bug :) )
Goofyfoot004 Ok. I mostly just didn’t want you to feel like you had gotten a dud 😉 I don’t recall if I had mentioned this to you, but the two things that can make the lube last longer is if you wrap the string around the axle one more time, for a total of two times, and sometimes the Sage needs to be over tightened just a little. Maybe 1/8 of a turn. Making the gap just a little smaller off and solves the problem.
@@yotricks Sounds like I've been on the right track. I have been double looping the string and suspected the tightening (even though I've been hesitant to over tighten the sage since I don't want to break it.) Thanks for taking the time to respond and again, thanks for all the content here to get me going!
This is probably on the website but does the sage yoyo come pre lubed.
It does.
I don't have any of this yo-yo loob any other way??
my yoyo use to make a sound when I threw it now I put the lube and it doesn't make a sound anymore is that ok
If the yoyo still works fine, it is okay.
Yeah my Sage yoyo hasn't been returning properly and I'm hoping this is why
This is the answer.
After lubing my sage, it goes back to a state like before I lubed it. This doesn’t happen immediately, but I feel like I’m not supposed to lube it every hour. Plus, it doesn’t sleep as long, even after 30 minutes of play. Any idea on why? I’m using some yomega Yoyo lube
What you are describing is normal with that lube. It builds up in the yoyo and it keeps your yoyo from spinning as long. Also, most responsive yoyos do need to be lubed after about an hour or so of play.
yotricks Well, does your lube at least have a smaller impact on the spin time? After lubing the Yoyo the third time and playing with it for about 10 min, I timed the spin time. It was 15 sec, before i lubed it at all it was a good 30. Is this normal as well?
yotricks lube every hour? Gaaaahhh... I'm going to get through the first 50 and move on to unresponsive as soon as I can.
I wish i had the oracle and the sage they look awesome
I just got my sage a few days ago and it was doing fine the first day but now the only time it will come back to my hand is when I'm bringing it back from a trick. I can't bring it back from a regular sleeper. Is this normal?
What tricks are you doing where it comes back to your hand?
yotricks any trick
yotricks so should I lube it? You said the sage comes pre lubed so idk
1966link Does RUclips yes, lack of lube is most likely the issue. If that doesn't help, try replacing the string.
Is there anything I can use instead of thick yoyo lube like baby oil
Baby oil can work.
Should I do it with my "fizz" yoyo?
I lubed my yoyo and it hurt my hand coming back. That's a good sign at least.
My Whip didn't even need pliers or a multitool to remove the bearing. I'm guessing that's because the bearing sits on a spacer?
Indeed.
Is it normal to have to lube the yoyo every couple of hours of play? This is the second time today I'm having to apply thick lube to my sage yoyo to make it responsive again...
+Bhagwad Park It is. One thing you can do if you find that you have to lube the yoyo more often than you like is you can use thicker string. Both thick kitty string and thick highendstring play great on the Sage, last longer than conventional string, and require much less lubing to keep the yoyo playing very responsive.

Oh, kitty string comes with the Classic Pro pack I ordered on Friday! So I'll try it out when it arrives and let you know. Thanks again for the help :)
I extremely want to get a yoyo from you guys but the shipping costs to much
Where do u live?
for finger wrap is it okay if i use bandages instead?
+Zero Blaze If they work, great!
Does thick lube protect the bearing like thin lube?
+Kevin Darby Yes.
Yotricks what do u guys think of turning point shake is it any good?
Xavier Ong I have heard good things about turning point yoyos, but I have not tried them myself.
Well i bought a One like 2 weeks ago and last tuesday it began to play a bit unresponsive, so i put a bit of thick lube in it, and it stopped making noise when spinning and it now spins a very short time, is there anything i can do to get back as it was before lubing it?
I believe we discuss this problem specifically in the video. 5:58
yotricks yeah, but the thing is that the lube doesn't thin out after that amount of time, should i just play more?
Most likely that just means you are not throwing it hard enough to break in the lube.
yotricks ohh, thanks
Img thx so much i told u my yoyo wasnt coming up as easily and now it is awesomly so thx!!
+claycreations Great!
+yotricks and i mastered rock the baby and elivator and around the world
+claycreations Awesome!
Can you use trombone or trumpet valve and slide lube instead
Brett Roberts I have heard that it will work in the place of thin lube, but I have not tried it myself. It will not be thick enough to replace thick lube.
thanks
yotricks what happens if i use thin lube on a responsive yoyo? Will it make it more responsive or unresponsive?
It will make it less responsive in most cases if you lube a responsive yoyo with thin lube.
Do i need to lube My dv888 if it has response pads?
Mother Dodo For responsive play, not really.
I can't get my yoyo bearing off
my friend tried it with a bearing tool but it wouldn't budge
I tried pliers but its too tight in there
any tips?
+ssb4 and anime “mr mc cheese 2.0” lover Not beyond what you are already trying. You could try putting the yoyo in the freezer for 20 minutes and then try again.
+yotricks thx
I'll try
yotricks I tried and it wouldn't work
Its really stuck
The best method is always to use a multitool. try pushing down into the yoyo slightly as you rock the bearing off. That seems to help.
My sage yoyo bearing is on the same side as the bolt. How do i get it off to lube it?
+Winston Khan You can use pliers.
+yotricks yes just be gentle
hey i have i question can i use thin lube for this ?
Thin and thick yoyo lube are not interchangeable.
I've a Replay Pro, and I want to convert it into a responsive yoyo. Please help !
Using Thick Lube may work to make the bearing responsive.
