Wood axles and breaking in?

Haven’t burned any No jive axles (that I know of), bad about checking them. Just crushed one last night though over tightening it.

But I still have a box of ProYo sleeves. I bought a ProYo in the mid 90’s, because we “had to have one” for the contest that was coming up in our town. Played that a ton, and bought up a bunch of sleeves when the local cart was blowing them out.
