So any tips?
Keep on throwing.
The pads break in due to wear from being played, so lot of throwing and binding back is the only way to do it.
Bind. A lot. The one that helps me the most is a suicide bind.
Take jeans or denim and give them a rub down.
Do gyro flop it helps a lot.
EDIT: thanks noonar

I still recommend rubbing down the pads with jeans.
It wears it down faster than play.
