In the last 3 days, the only yoyos I have thrown are a Strix, Shutter, Raptor (5A), and Xodus II (offstring). All but the Xodus II (because of the starburst pads) have lost a response pad. Is it because of the weather or something?
First thing I do with new yoyos is take the pads out and silicon them (if they have pads)
They last longer and you can control the response you get from them
It doesnt take very long to learn and when you do its kinda fun!
