Hello all! I talked with Terry at Rewind in Shibuya. He told me that the 16 ball bearing is from TopYo, and only available in Japanese markets at the moment. SpinGear stocks 16 balls from other companies sometimes, but they're currently unavailable. Sorry about the trouble!

Thanks for doing that, I'm intrigued now. Just have to find one for sale!

Thanks... I wonder what the spin time differences would be, though? There's got to be a threshold where more balls actually just becomes more unnecessary contact (drag). Probably quiets ans smooths it, but it's more surface area. I was kinda weirded out when I opened a yoyocreation platinum DS bearing and it only had 8 balls instead of 10, but because if the precision it's still quiet and smooth, but without extra balls adding two eight extra points of contact. Of course each ball is going to have more weight on it the fewer there are, but there's got to be a sweet spot, and without the same exact style and precision/tolerance it's hard to say where that threshold is. Right now I feel like it's 8 because this bearing has my undersized Top Yo Photon spinning longer than any other yoyo in my box including $98 and extreme rim weight models.

Thanks for doing this video. I'm the person on Instagram that requested it. Personally i don't think the number of balls in the bearing is about spin time or anything. Its about smoothness. Hoping i can find one of these sometime soon.

I heard somewhere that the number of balls in the bearing had nothing to do with how long it spins or how quiet it was. Not sure if it is true or not but that 16 ball bearing really grabbed my attention.

You should try the YYR NSK 8 ball (platinum or gold). They are precision bearings and they are extremely silent on a well balanced yoyo. Much more silent then the 16 ball. It's insane. I tried it with a SoSerious Chronos and I would not know if the yoyo was spinning. No lube used.

is normal bearing also can play many trick？？And , konkave bearing is best than normal bearing for beginner？？

what is the name or brand of the 16 ball bearing can't find it in yoyostorerewind

16 ball is freaking insane

the 16 ball will definitely be more smooth but unfortunately it will have a higher friction coefficient. more balls = more surface area in direct contact which means more friction.

Nice video. Might I just suggest (in order to improve your videos) you consider your background, being in Tokyo. You likely have some pretty impressive options. Good job though.

I use the gold line 10b from magicyoyo and they work great to ;)

i like the EDGE :)

well actually 16 ball bearing just spin much stabler then the 10 ball or 8 ball, but 16 spin more more slower then the 10 ball i've tried it before

16 ball sounds interesting :)

damm the 16 ball just to good

Samurai sword

I really doubt that that's a platinum DS bearing, the even the economy DS bearings are 10 ball :/

i wish i lived near other people my age (30) who are into yo-yoing

I like the comparison, my only gripe is with the play. I feel like a more experienced player can give better insight on the matter and make a better comparison. You're pretty decent though!

Bearings are the only part of yoyo gear I don't find interesting. Nice review anyway!
