heys guys. i just got a maxbet and on the first week of using it one of the pads fell out. i was wondering if the groove is big enough to silicone or not? if not then what kind of pads fit it? (give a link to the product if possible) ---

They take regular YYF large slim pads which can be found here: [YoYoFactory Response Pads – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/64/YYF-Response). Any of the 19mm pads will do. Yuki ---

It’s possible but given how shallow the response groove is I’m not sure how grippy it’ll be. Worth a try. If you’ve already got the silicone, at worst you’ll be out one day of play. Yuki ---

Haven’t tried them yet. Still waiting for my sample pack of the new pads to arrive. From what I gather though, you just have more options. Different pads for different preferences.
