The title says it all. The bearing issue does not make a well designed yoyo a bad performer if you had a chance to handle this yoyo. The Will has extreme core stability on the string makes it a high level performance yoyo. There are design features the knock off copy cat wannabes don’t have built in. The shape of the Will yoyo compared to the Klondike per se look similar but the Will has two rounded mounds not flat or sloping features. Very different SUS Mechanic designs giving the edge in high level performance to the Will over the Klondike.

After playing with this, I can’t believe it’s not sold out lol. I can’t speak on the original bearing, as I swap my bearings to ceramic immediately no matter the throw . This yoyo feels specifically crafted for technical string and slack tricks. You won’t get finger spins or DNAs with this, but what it does do, it does better than anything I’ve yet to play with, I promise. Silky smooth, agile, and good weight distribution. Highly recommend if you are a player focused on learning speed combos and technical tricks.

I need to point out that the YYF bearing is horribly loose. That doesn't mean that there's a problem with the bearing seat though. Any GOOD bearing with moderate precision will fit this throw perfectly.

This yoyo has great stability and immense power, it bears acceleration and direction changes effortlessly, it has a clear presence in play and is incredibly catchable. Vib is fine with my one.

If you are looking for a fun and floaty yoyo, don't even bother looking at a yoyo of this shape and constructions.

The bearing can be removed with hand, vibrates a lot.
