^ (Not including Uno Drop Flow groove pads)

By best, I mean: not too snappy, but able to do laceration binds perfectly fine  
not at all snaggy, being able to do technical and Hiroyuki-speed tricks without binding back and smashing your knuckles  
not too exprensive (X \<$5.00)  
lasts a very long time  
not sold out everywhere  
AND PLEASE DON’T “reccomend” ME TO SILICONE, I’ve done it before, but I don’t like it too much.

I’d get yoyofactory natural pads. Haven’t had the need to use them yet, but I’ve heard they’re great.

Lol no that’s Q.

And I would say IrPads are really good. YYF’s blue grippy pads are nice as well.

Different pads seem to work better in different yoyos. IrPads are great because they pretty much come in every flavour under the sun in terms of size, thickness (thin or regular), and hardness (soft, regular, hard).
