I just got a genesis and one of the pads just broke and fell out. I don’t know what size pad the genesis would need and I also need a reccommendation on a good set of replacement pads. ``` Thanks! ``` ---

Miguel Correa (for whom the Genesis was made) uses flowable silicone for the response. ---

You should try getting some Silicone from your local auto stores and raplacing instead. If you want the pad size that fits, contact Yoyoexpert and ask. I think it’s most likely the 888 size but I’m not sure. ---

alright guys thanks! EDIT: i went into the yoyoexpert and it says flowable silicone but i went to the nation and it says it uses a YYF silicone pad…and after looking at what fell out of my genesis it seems i have the yyf pad so i think i’m just going to get some K pads and call it. but thanks anyways!! ---

I think K-Pdas are the same thing as Yoyofactory Silicone pads. ---
