I have a Freebird that I rarely ever use because I don’t like it’s 12mm silicone sticker response. They stain my strings and are hard to get out of the packaging. One time, all 8 of the stickers peeled off some of the paper when I was trying to replace my response and it was a waste of an entire pack! Are there any other response pads that would fit in a Freebird yo-yo? The recess looks like it’s too shallow for flowable silicone.
General-Yo Hat Pads should work. Or you could try making Plasti-dip pads yourself, though there is a small initial investment since you need a sticker-maker
Just got in my shipment of another yoyo stores’ silicone pads for my freehand and they worked out pretty nice, pretty sure the freebird uses the same size
Correction, I meant the Gen Pads. However, I do take my comment back because Gen Pads are 555 sized and meant for C bearing yoyos. So since the Freebird is A sized, those won’t work.
Yoyospirit’s solution would definitely work if you really wanted flowable
Now since it’s an A size bearing, you could also try Ir Pads because they still have A-size pads in stock. Haven’t tried them myself, but they are supposedly some of the best pads out there
