I understand that response is largely a player’s preference kinda thing, but here’s the deal. First time I tried a CLYW yoyo, I felt like the response system in it was super good. I was wondering if there’s pads that perform the same in the 19mm spec? What pads do you like the most? ---

It seems a lot of people like the One Drop Flow Groove pads. YYF has a variety pack which lets you see what best meets your preference. > **[YoYoFactory Response Pads](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/yoyofactory-yoyo-response?_pos=8&_sid=5219bd2d7&_ss=r&variant=18870492996)** > > These are YoYoFactory made response by the Central Bearing Company (CBC) built to fit the majority of yo-yos available today from a wide array of manufacturers.

They’re sold out rn but I’d recommend giving Sochi Pinks a try. IMO they’re on the grippier side. > **[Sōchí Response](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/replacement-response-pads-by-sochi)** > > Sōchí was founded when Luckey Li realized that he needed better, yet cheaper equipment as a competitor.

And, of course, the best way to get response pads exactly the way you like every time, at a very low cost, and without ever worrying that a company will stop making them, is to flow your own silicone. It’s not the most convenient solution to be sure, but it is the most reliable and cost-effective. It’s definitely something I need to take the time to learn to do (kinda like how I forced myself to learn how to solder just so I could fix, tweak, and customize guitar and amp electronics, and I was very glad I did). ---

@nonja121 how does the Sochi pink compare to the one drop slim response pads? 🙂 ---
