Hi, I have found recently that my OFFSET blue response pads are way too responsive for me, as I do a lot of dense string wraps around the bearing and stuff like that. Some tricks are unplayable with them due to the yoyo snapping back randomly. What are the most unresponsive response pads I can get at the moment? I’m considering YOYOFFICER response pads as the ones that came in my Kilter 4 were nice and dead. Any other recommendations or things I should know? Thank you! ---
