Inconsistency in 19mm pads as a standard. Between having so many different 19mm pad manufacturers, and so many different yoyo designers using them, 19mm pads feel less like a standard and more like a rough guideline. I’m at the point where I think I just want to go all in on flowable silicone for 19mm response. I’m just over throwing a 19mm pad in a yoyo only to find out my “standard” 19mm pad is slightly too thick and juts out of the response well and makes the yoyo play terribly. Either because the yoyo was designed using 19mm pads from a company that produces them very slightly thinner, or because the pad you got was from a manufacturer that makes the pads very slightly thicker (or you just got a batch of pads that ended up being thicker.) ---

I loved the idea of black strings but realized they were invisible over the carpet in my office. They do work over the lighter floors in other rooms (until I need to unpick a knot). For a while this was my excuse for owning two of the same yoyo - one for each string/room, but I couldn’t even kid myself with that for long. ---

I don’t know if I’m willing to say 21mm is superior. I had debated mentioning it in my post, but I opted not to. I think the biggest reason for me preferring 21mm is in large part due to having far fewer companies support it, so there’s inherently less variance. 21mm for me is good because when I get snow tires… I get snow tires, and same with summer tires. I’m getting a singular product from a singular manufacturer (C3 produces snow/summer tires), and CLYW is designing the response of their yoyo around this specific product. I haven’t tried 21mm sochi pads or dad pads (zero clue who makes those), but 21mm RSO pads are very different from both snow and summer tires. If more companies were putting out 21mm pads I feel like I’d have the same complaint I have about 19mm pads. In terms of play benefit it’s just far too hard for me to tell what is and isn’t placebo about the affect on play. Would love to see a yoyo design that was identical in every aspect sans the response groove. I keep thinking about picking up a second Freehand One AL (large bearing) and modding it to accept snow tires. Eventually I’ll get around to it. I think why I like snow tires is the exact reason why a lot of people like flow groove. When you buy flow groove you’re specifically getting flow groove, and One Drop is designing their yoyos around flow groove.
