NEW!
lotus SUPERGROOVE XD
Your bearing is the engine of your yo-yo. Be the best. Play the best.
Lotus users have asked us how we run our bearings. Many were surprised at our answer. We run our personal bearings totally dry. We remove the dry lube that comes direct from the factory. It's not just us; pro players from all styles have been doing this for years! A properly treated dry bearing has unmatched spin times because there is no increase in resistance or friction caused by lubrication. Since all of our bearings are ABEC 7, the high precision and tolerance is not negatively affected by the lack of lube!
We start with our own Lotus SuperGrooves. They are then cleaned and treated using industrial medical/scientific grade cleaners and our "secret sauce" which is a combination of specially made pure and natural solvents. Each bearing is run through our machines using different times, intensities, and solvent strength, until the entire bearing returns to its base metal— 100% surgical stainless steel. Nothing else. Now that SuperGroove is "XD" or Extra Dry!
Our proprietary cleaning and treatment process is extensive and time consuming. The rewards? There is nothing like having a bearing spin for minutes on end! Friction and resistance will only occur from the string, and response— the way it was intended. At low RPMs binds still remain fast and snappy.
Lotus SuperGrooveXD are a blast to play. The specs are the same as SuperGroove with the exception of arriving without shields— this also make it easier to know if you are using a SuperGroove or SuperGrooveXD. The SuperGrooveXD work perfectly in lightweight yo-yos that seem to always lack spin or even for your favorite throw! Just like SuperGroove, SuperGrooveXD have the same massive groove and winged shape we all love.
SuperGrooveXD are:
There has always existed confusion especially due to countless outdated forum posts regarding the ABEC rating. Quite simply put, ABEC measures precision. Most of the top bearings sold have no ABEC rating and are not even tested or certified. Because bearings are so small, precision absolutely matters. With tolerances even slightly off, the performance of the bearing will suffer. Everything from slow spin times to seizing which lands your bearing right in the garbage. No amount of cleaning will fix that!
Unlike most bearings, which use nylon cages, Lotus SuperGrooveXD use surgical stainless steel. Nylon is very thin and susceptible to stretching and breakage. Stainless steel never stretches or breaks. The majority of all factory bearings are only 8 ball and chrome steel (not surgical stainless) that run a minimum of 40% less RPMs than 10 ball.
Lotus SuperGroovesXD are capable of ludicrous RPMs. From beginners to pros, the increase in spin allows players more time to learn a new trick without having to throw again or completing a long combo for competitions. There is no break in period and they run almost silently. Since they are totally dry, there is no need to add any yo-yo lube whatsoever. Doing so will result in a responsive bearing and is not recommended.
Competition grade yo-yos cost anywhere from $100-$200+. Running the factory 8 ball bearing as the "engine" of your yo-yo investment is not an option. Expect the best for your throws. Expect Lotus Bearings.
