My Horizon’s response pads ripped today and since it was my primary throw i put the pads from my T5 into it. Out of curiosity, i tried playing my T5 without and silicone pads in it and i can bind it just fine. I know this is probably because the gap is smaller than the Horizon but is it fine to keep playing the T5 like this??? I don’t feel any change from when it didn’t have pads.

The T5 has _NO_ pads and it’s binding fine?

Probably adhesive in the response gaps…??? That won’t last forever and I’m amazed it’s even working. :wink:

Also: the transferred pads won’t last long in the Horizon. They’re not meant to be unstuck and re-stuck. You should order pads now while you still can.

Can’t go wrong with the Flowable, it works like a charm in all my Yo-Yo’s so far.
