Can someone fill me in on the different yo-yo response types? I know some of them by name, but is there any difference between, say, an o-ring response and a silicone response? Or a K-pad and a friction sticker? Like I said, I know their names, but I have no clue which one’s which if they’re lined up in front of me. (Except maybe for a few) :-[ ---

Lets go more in depth. There are many types of response. Here are some of the most basic ones:     -Starburst     -O-Ring     -Pads     -Silicone There are more response types, but those are the basic ones. Anyway, i’m going to answer your initial questions. The most basic difference between an O-Ring and Silicone, is material. O-Rings are made out of rubber, while silicone is just silicone. Also, silicone tends to be more unresponsive with grippier binds. K-Pads and Friction Stickers have pretty much the same differences. K-Pads are silicone, and Friction stickers are stickers coated in rubber.
