Hey there everybody, This is a question for anybody who knows anything about the SuperYo! Samurai. I just got my hands on a used one from EBay for about 80 bucks, and it seems to play pretty well considering it’s age and how rough it looks, but what I’m wondering is this- What response stickers are supposed to be used on these things? On mine, one half has some weird rubber black one, and the other half seems to just have a translucent circular piece of tape or something. Anybody know what a good modern responsive sticker is that you can use for these things? Also does anybody know how the gap adjustment mechanism works? Thanks in advance for the help ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/2/b/42b2847fe1fec5230be942bda57135c6bff7fd8f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/b/cebb6bde536b56f441ae215452903215cccd1d6b.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/9/2/49293b486b8912182c24285566c720811dc590b0.jpeg) ---

The new Freehands have a new response system, not friction stickers. Edit: I forgot they come with friction stickers too ---

They have the option on of either silicone pads or wider response pads. ---

No he is right though- they do come with response stickers as well that you can install over the silicone rings. I allready installed mine on my new freehand. But maybe I should see if I can take em off and get them to adhere to the samurai ---

Just a comment on the Samurai- it’s a pretty neat yo-yo. Great feel in the hand. Heavy but not too heavy. I still prefer my cold fusion but I think this is now my favorite butterfly shape responsive. Just need to get the correct response set up… ---

Ah right, I forgot about that. Interested to see how the Samurai comes along! ---

That looks like a kentaro pad and ghost pad in it. Any small or d bearing sticker pad should work. The duncan ones and coreco come to mind. ---

So I ended up just pulling the 3M pads off the Duncan and sticking them on the samurai. Then used the nice little gap adjustment mechanism to open up the gap a bit. Now I’m cruising. This-for me- goes toe to toe with any modern responsives on the market. I think I like the feel of it and Play better than my Titanium Confusion. Money well spent. These yo-yos were killer!

“Lamina”, apparently. No idea what that means however. ![sammy](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/a/6ea505efa14fb289c12722b700f4c1f3ecee907f.jpeg) ---
