I just wanted to double check what response pads the new freehand one uses. The ones that come stock on it. Can someone tell me please? Thanks.

It’s the plastic freehand one. This one:

That is a great throw.

When you visit a yoyo you are considering for purchase or have already purchased on YYE, you can select the “Specs” tab for parts information including the response system used and their parts.

In this case: SG Stickers (Small Bearing)  
Also Compatible w/ Friction Stickers

Thanks. Yeah I checked there but there’s a few different sizes so I wanted to double check.

I love the freehand one. I’m not sure if the response pads wear out quick or it’s just me. I had it less than a month and played it a ton. It’s already fairly unresponsive compared to how it was. Tried lubing it. Put a fat string in and it got better. I seen a couple similar posts say it happened to theirs as well. It kinda sounded like paper crumbling when Id throw it when I first got it. I imagine the string rubbing the response pads caused the noise. Even if they wear out quick I love the freehand one.
