Lmao not to derail the mailday thread or anything, but I don’t mind pluggin the band :joy: A buddy of mine recruited some fellow music school grads back in 2022 to perform his compositions and we’ve been playing live/recording for a bit now - we all graduated from the same jazz program so it’s cool to get to still play together & nice for me to have a musical outlet I can enjoy when I’m not doing real estate. Below is our NPR Tiny Desk submission from last year, it’s more pop fusion than some of our more [improvised jazz fusion jams](https://youtu.be/WAjqcUx-xqI?si=l3N5LSZ6kQ6x-86w).

They’re all excellent throws, the Goji is my favorite now lol, and that purple motion linear is the smoothest thing I’ve ever thrown, I didn’t know a yo-yo could be so smooth, and the shape almost makes it feel like I’m cheating lol ---

Love the custom side effects and box. ive tried a couple of strings and have found that the response pads aren’t very grippy. This has happened to me before with a new yoyo purchase. Any thoughts? I don’t really think it’s a matter of preference as I’ve tried to bind a couple of times and it doesn’t. Suppose I could swap them out but that seems a bit silly with a brand new yoyo. ---

Fwiw, the Bathysphere should come with an OT Fat. For me, though, it was the string tension, or rather, lack thereof. Once I increased the tension binds were significantly easier and the return was much more powerful ---

I’ve noticed these pads can get slippy in the right temperature/humidity (at least that’s my current theory!) Typically, when mine get slippy I do a few normal binds to “warm them up” and then I’m flying right again. Feel free to let me know if you continue to have issues and I’ll mail you a new set of pads 😁 ---

Thicker string? Usually, if I have trouble getting binds with a new throw, I just have to adjust my bind a little. Maybe a longer tail. I imagine it’ll play great once the pads break in. ---
