I recently traded for a gold version 2 YYR Stargazer and wanted some pads for it. I went to YoYoExpert because they stock the pads and I love their customer service. i ordered two sets of red pads and paid for two sets of red pads. I received the package of pads today and instead of two sets of red YYR pads I got two Dreadnoughts, in red of course. Being the honest soul that I am, I called them to explain what happened. I could tell that the customer service rep., Matt, was kinda shocked that I had actually called them to explain the mistake. What could I say, I still needed the pads, LOL. Long story short, they are sending out my pads, and a prepaid envelope for the Dreadnoughts. While I REALLY wanted to keep them, I just would not have felt right about it. I did play one, and now I am even more excited about the Stargazer I have coming. Thanks, YoYoExpert for giving me a chance to play a Dreadnought, I’m glad I could return the great service that you have shown me in the past. I know where I will be going for one of those new Pink Addictions when they come out. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/5/b/85b51845ff080373bed527aea6d4c21edbb6b142.jpeg) ---

:o wow those look amazing. Good for you. What a mistake that was. Did you play with one enough to write a review? ;D ---

I am keeping them mint for YYE. I did not play with one enough to review, just long enough to know that I REALLY like the YYR shape. The Dreadnought is huge in the hand but plays so nice on the string, very floaty. I really want to take one outside and Eli hop the heck out of it but I don’t want to risk damaging a $150 yoyo that I don’t own. I am now eagerly awaiting my Stargazer. 🙂 ---

> [@patrickcondon](#): > > did you have the angel and devil on your shoulders sorta feeling? I would’ve Totally 🙂 In the end it was an easy decision. They have done right by me in the past, including sending free sample pads when I asked a question about which would play better in a yo-yo. The least I could do was call them and let them know the mistake. ---

I…I’m gonna go buy some red YYR pads now… lol, just kidding. I don’t know if I could do what you did, I would have to be faced with it to know. I probably would have, I didn’t want that bad feeling in the back of my head while I played them. That’d make me feel too bad almost to play them. ---
