So I bought the Metal Zero, I kinda wish I would’ve gotten a DM or something else, but I’ll make the best of it. Anyway, I wore out the friction stickers that came packaged with it the first day, I knew they would wear out quick so I also ordered 2 dif pads when i ordered the yoyo. I have both Dif Pads on, and I still have to do a bind every time to make it come back. I like having enough response so I don’t have to do a bind. Any tips? Which pads would be better? ps I have the shorter spacers on as well. ---

TIP: lube the bearing for more response. TIP: Duncan sili pads will be more responsive. ---

No - sili pads last quite long. I’ve had them in one of my regular players for almost a year. If you get them, try using just one first. Also don’t ignore lubing the bearing if you want response. You may find that a lubed bearing and the dif pads do what you need. ---

Just try some 3-in-1 oil w/the dif pads. Not much cost involved. ---

“and I still have to do a bind every time to make it come back” YES! That is the way you want it to be. (IMHO) ---

True. I always maintain some of my yo-yos responsive. No matter how experienced you get, there’s still nothing quite as cool as a flyaway dismount. ;D @clarklizard23 - Most advise you get here will assume you want an unresponsive yoyo. (just so you know). Do you live near any other yo-yoers? Duncan sili stickers fit almost all Duncans, and some other yo-yos, so someone might be able to loan you a couple. Have Fun, Java
