Rubber-ish Counterweights

Anyone have any rubber-ish CW they like? I find that when I have a yo-yo with a counter weight in my pockets, they rattle together too much when I walk and it bugs me. Lol. Or maybe I just need to plasti-dip the ones I have. :thinking:

That I do! They’re made from recycled plastisol, and has sufficient “squish!”

I’ve made some in tpu, but I couldn’t get the size and weight correct.

I like the little rubber balls with a hole drilled. They’re not the best performance like they sometimes get stuck on the string if you mess up like don’t pull apart and untangle super easy all the time. Lots of other cws perform like that also tho. They’re good for not totally destroying your hands and they’re less loud.

Gummyweights by Gummyweights, not sure we can link thier store as they don’t sell yoyo but I’m not going to, you can search them pretty easy… they have a variety of shapes, they make the Gummyweights dice that Jake B sells.
B GRADE Gummy dice are a bit more tacky and sticky but they are softer. A GRADE gummy dice are a bit harder and less tacky.

I also have one from throw yo and it’s pretty cool CW, black skull perfect for Halloween!

And the classic duncan rubber balls are always available.

Aren’t @Nic_from_Adelaide weights soft?

gummyweights seem to be the popular choice here.

My Leatherjackets, and the new suede version are very quiet. They’re soft enough to not hurt (much), but have solid plastic cores for good weight distribution.
