the protostar and dv888 have slim pads or 888 sized. small bearings and large bearing yoyos are different because they have different bearings. small bearings are smaller bearings ussually a sized and spin faster. but allow less string layers. large bearings spin slowwer but still pretty fast and handle more string layers.
