Why have you decided to use pad size different than 19mm?

Favorite yoyo from back in the day?

Do you prefer solid colors or fancy splashes?

When we came up with our pad size, 19mm wasn’t yet the “standard”. We introduced our pad around 2009 and have been using it ever since except for a few models that use 19mm.

My first high-end metal yoyo was an Hspin Envy so that one is special to me.

I personally prefer solid colors. Lately light blue is my jam.
