I’ve tried to change the pads on this yo-yo before using onedrop pads and they were still super recessed. I don’t know what to use ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/0/f/90f9cdea47b5d5261766e62f5df607bff7cecb0f.jpeg) ---

OD flow groove pads used to be thicker than standard 19mm pads but not quite as thick as CLYW snow tires. Pretty sure the T1 uses the original sized flow groove since it’s an older model, so maybe you bought the standard sized flow groove pads when the T1 used the old sized pads. ---

their site has 3 options for flow groove pads. one of which is “original pads”. ---

Not sure what site you’re on, but the flow groove pad is the flow groove pad. OD also makes a slim 19mm pad now but the T1 uses the flow groove pad ---
