Not sure if this is what he was getting at, but I'll give it a shot. There have been a couple of issues with hex bearings this year. One of the main ones was simply supply. For a long period of time this season, hex bearings were completely sold out wherever you looked. There were also problems with the hex itself, which was often oversized or undersized.

1/2" hex bearings are sold out at VexPro and West Coast Products (although their store is down for maintenance). They used to be sold out at AndyMark, although it looks like they're back in stock with an order limit of 10.
