I think they are fantastic. They are in every One Drop I own, and I love the feel of the response on every one of them. I have not tried them in other yoyos (yet), but I would expect them to feel great in any yoyo.

They are my go-to these days - they’re relatively inexpensive compared to other pads, they don’t take very long to break in & are long-lasting in my experience

To me, OD pads feel closest to silicon which is awesome.

I thought that’s because they _are_ silicone. Is that not the case?

Out of curiosity, how does the silicone used to make the OD pads differ from flowable silicone?
