Giving it another shot. I can throw it. And catch it sometimes. That’s about all I got…

Time to buy some Permatex! Guess I’ll see if I can find some Ultra Grey since that seems to be the most popular on here

Ultra grey is dope if you want exceptionally relaxed non grippy response. It can feel pretty slippy just so you know like don’t be surprised if it feels loose and slippy at first. Flowable is easiest to apply bc it self levels and is the grippiest of the silicones. I been using ultra blue in my 1a yoyos

fwiw, who needs filters when your whole room is blue? I should experiment with filters, but I want to get those dreamy looks naturally, that’s always the fun in it for me

That was my first Yoyo! Still break it out now and again for vibes. It’s actually quite fun if you put a wider bearing in it and make it unresponsive too!

Had this exact situation on my Ptar only a few weeks ago, the pad (silicone) just… disappeared. Luckily had a few spare d pads direct from ZGRT whom I contacted some months earlier when ‘The Don’ needed refreshing.

So the standard D pads fit without issue? This is something I had wondered because they came with hand flowed silicone instead of pads. Also, how do the pads work?
