Interchangeable?
I should probably know this at my stage ☹

I use them interchangeably but if we were to measure I think the OD are ever so slightly thicker.

That’s what I thought. The OD have a reputation for playing like flowable, which is a good thing.

OD’s 19mm slim pads are actually thinner than other 19mm slim pads, by about .2mm IIRC. I like them because it makes the response slightly recessed. I usually use recessed silicone, but I like to have OD 19mm slim pads on hand for quick replacements when I need.

@Xanadu did some common pad size thickness measurements on this topic

I know that this has been discussed before - the OD ‘slim’ response pads are marketed to fit yo-yos with ‘standard’ 19 mm response pads however they are thinner than most 19 mm pads (measurements below). OneDrop has stated that this is intentional to allow the pads to be slightly recessed. In my experience, this works excellently when paired with a flat b…

Hold the phone on this, I have a new simple mod for OD pads and I’m going to post a tutorial in the next few days as I just got on vacation. 🙂

I really like the OD slim pads and want to use them exclusively. I like that they are clear too.
I really thought they were thicker but that was more from feel. I use them in my YYF Butter.
How did you measure @Xanadu ?? I work in metrology and have many instruments at my disposal. I’m going to measure with confocal distance sensor to get the real skinny.
Either way, I love them.
