I just received my Firestorm. Several places on the package say "responsive play" but the drop was clearly for an unresponsive edition. Is the packaging wrong or did I get the wrong product?

tjkirchThis just a case of incorrect packaging. Yomega realized that they were shipped some Firestorms with the wrong bearings and offered them to us, since they thought the community would be into them. Thus, the "Unresponsive Edition" was born. They didn't repackage them, but the yoyos inside should definitely be unresponsive.

cameronbachmanThis is correct, I've opened mine and it is unresponsive. They do this by cleaning/not lubing/using thinner lube on the bearing. The setup, otherwise, is exactly the same as the stock package. Still the same size bearing and same brake pads. Buyers can improve unresponsive performance by installing a full size-C bearing(these come with half-C-size bearings), and/or switching the pads for silicone pads(can be bought or made.)(also, YoYoJam sells the bearings and pads as a kit intended for the YYJ Classic yoyo) In fact, it would have been cool if they had done this beforehand, but it's still a decent price, so I don't really mind changing these parts myself.
