Have you ever had to replace flowable silicone?
I have some old OD with original silicone and still responds normally.

OD pads are the longest lasting and snappiest pads I’ve ever played with. But even they need replacement periodically. I just replaced the pads in my pano which I’ve played with quite a bit over the last year.
Also, I don’t think that silicon would feel right on fixie… 
I could see it being too grabby.

I’ve never had to replace any pads from OD, I have a rally thats all marked up on the pads and still responds perfectly. But I hear you.
But we don’t really know until its been tried. I was thinking only doing 1 side kinda like the new freehand.

New video of the current batch I’m making. I’m currently working on 13 yo-yos of various woods. Bocote, goncalo alves, iron wood, padauk, purple heart, just to name a few of them.

Those woods you’re getting a hold of are really beautiful.

So I made this tonight. Now that I have no need for response holes in my yoyos, I wanted to test out a design with no flat inner walls. I was hoping that would change regen feel and speed as well as open up the gap just slightly for better string trick capability.
Some positives are:
- Better regens with my new response system due to more endgrain contact with string on winds.
- Better regen speed control.
- Smoother and more open feeling in orbital tricks.
- Reduced return speed near the end of winds making certain stalls such as backhand easier.
- UFOs seems easier.
- String tricks are easier.
I haven’t found any negatives yet, but I may with more testing.

I have had a similar experience with a tiny response bump and a slightly recessed “end grain” in this printed design I’m working on. Helped a lot with string tricks and response was still snappy.

Gluing up some oldies and a “prototype”.
I’m working on too many things at once. I can’t focus and it’s causing me to be accident prone. My hands can’t handle this much abuse and that’s keeping me from throwing.

You mentioning that in your last video has definitely cooled me off from wanting to pick up a lathe (or even finally put together a new shelf for my collection). I can’t even cut bread without injury these days.
