I know lots of people look for pads that give nice tight binds, but I’m looking for pads that are a little more on the slippy side. I want to use thicker string as I just like the feel better, and I wanted to see if changing the pads will help with snagging. I have some Original Throw pink pads coming so we shall see how they work out, but any other suggestions would be awesome. ---
