I have a bunch of old yo-yos and they need new pads! Anyone sitting on a stash of old Dif style pads? Also down for any other pad of the same size / style, or generally any other old style pads for SPYY, KYO, Alchemy, Duncan, Etc.

That is a dope collection. At this point flowable silicone might be the way to go. Or maybe you can modify the Duncan silicone pads.

I have a bunch of dif and Chaz pads but most of them are getting less tacky and hard. I would think most other pads of this generation are in the same boat.
I would stick with hat pads since general yo is still making them.

Duncan has reissue pads in the YYE store

I’ll give these a shot! I’ve only seen the white ones that come with free hands.

I’ve used up all my old dif pads, but they mostly seem to be working well. Could be a storage situation where some have dried out more than others. If you wanna let go of the dry ones I’ll give them a try!

Saw this a while back, might be worth dming general yo on instagram to see if they have any 555 pads still.

I have cleaned a few with varying results. I have a bunch of throws that just don’t have any pads to clean. Reaching out to General Yo for sure.
