I have always been a fan of the older yoyos, pretty much beyond most of your guy’s era (Doc Pop Bolt, Dark Magic 1, Speeder, FH2, Mini Motu, etc.)… But surprisingly I haven’t tried the FHZ, so I had to order it. I honestly love it. It is seriously good. I immediately took out both of the friction stickers and replaced them with one thin Dif-Pad. Mostly unresponsive, but can still come back with a tug, pretty much where I wanted it. (If someone knows where to get Chaz Pads, PM me, because I haven’t been able to find them ever since Yoyonation’s store shut down). I’m not sure if it’s because I’m “Old Fashioned” and like the Friction Sticker type response, or because I like small bearing throws, but I’m definitely going to get one or two more of these soon. Don’t take this as a review, but more of a feedback toward the yoyo. [http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3811/9458547797\_835cf6fc3c.jpg](http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3811/9458547797_835cf6fc3c.jpg) ---

Big fan of FHZ. I have owned at least 13 of them at this point. I’m glad you are enjoying yours! ---

You can make your own Chaz Pads if you feel the need. They’re the same thing as the old school Baz Pads. Pretty sure its just plasti-dip thinned out with naphtha or paint thinner, spread onto parchment paper and then cut when dry. Not sure how they did the whole adhesive part… so, yeah. ;D ---

I’m a huge FHZ fan. I do think it suits a slightly more advanced player better however as it isn’t as easy to land on string hits and isn’t as stable as more modern designs. ---

I have 3 Chaz pads I’d trade for Duncan silicone stickers. ---

Pretty sure its just plasti-dip thinned out with naphtha or paint thinner, spread onto parchment paper and then cut when dry. Not sure how they did the whole adhesive part… so, yeah. ;D bazmonkey used both silicone and plasti-dip. He spread it on wax paper, then laid another layer of waxpaper on it to flatten it out. He initially used adhesive transfer tape/sheets, then moved on to a cheap sticker maker from one of the craft stores. ---

> [@Noonar](#): > > I really don’t know much about beefcaked bearing systems. > > Honestly, I’m not interested. Well if you have an extra A sized bearing laying around then just try it. It widens the gap ever so slightly and can make a huge difference in play. I always keep at least one of my 10 FHZ’s beefcaked. ---

> [@Noonar](#): > > What exactly is “Wing Cut”? I believe that means it has an extremely slight cut in the bearing, allowing for string centering, without the negative qualities of a normal string-centering bearing (KK, Grooved, etc.). With these, you won’t get string bunching up, slippy binds, and all the other bad things you get with those str-centering bearings. This is based on what I’ve heard. I haven’t had enough play time with a yoyo using one of these bearings to give my thoughts. I’ve only ever sampled a few throws installed with a TX Wing Cut for short amounts of time. ---
