I’ve got the clear set up with brass CODE1’s and the splash rockin some domes. I hate to be the first person with a gripe, but I have three Bathyspheres and they all have very slippy pads and loud bearings. Has anyone else been having issue with their binds? I’ve even strung them up with Kitty XXL and they Still slip. Is this just a matter of breaking in the pads or what? Anyone know what kind of pads these have? I’m so close to swapping these brand new pads for something else. ---

I have not had any problem with binding a Bathysphere, but I also live in high heat and humidity. I would recommend playing with it some more to warm it up ---

How frustrating is it to get through that combo and when it comes time to return to base… it’s "crash and burn"? Well, we have come up with the perfect response pads...

Are they landing pads? Because I have RSO landing pads in two other throws and haven’t had this issue before. Any tips for breaking in pads? I’ve already played the clear bathy for about 2+ hours and tried rubbing the pads on denim to wear them in. Still slipping. Also, I’ve bought plenty of new throws with bearings that didn’t scream out of the box. They still spin smooth though, so I’m not really trying to complain too much about the bearings. I mention that they spin smooth because I’m also convinced that a bearing can absolutely introduce vibe. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/bathysphere-appreciation-thread/392209.md?page=2)
