I thought of a crazy, insane idea. It actually works! It works on fhz or any large pad yoyo. I took Electrical tape and put small strips on the pad area. On the first throw it was responsive but the second wasn’t.

believe it or not, one of my friends got the same effect with Duct tape. I don’t recommend it as I don’t know what it can do to the bearing or yoyo if it wears, but it seems to work

Yeah. It was just an experiment. I actually just ripped it out an recessed it.

Cloth backed medical tape, hockey tape works etc. too.  
There’s really no problem with it.
