I’m pretty sure that response pads don’t eat string. I’ve personally never had that issue with YYF blue pads or any pads. It’s more likely an issue with the area around the response.

I thought maybe it was a bad string so I replaced it with a generic string and just spent 10 minutes playing with it literally right now and… then this happened scream [image] So yeah … it got some dings as a result. Dang, I should have tested this theory over carpet cry I am wondering why a brand new yo-yo would be such a terrible string eater…
