So the Response Sticker got me thinking - I don’t have any “cork” response throws. Are there any currently available cork response throws that are budget friendly and worth owning?

@pyrotechnic - You modding anything with cork response?
@spyder-man - I know there’s a new Ti throw coming out with cork, but that’s going to be a bit pricey.

Yeah - I’m watching @Lotaxi 's thread with great interest but not sure I can throw down for that - wish I had sort of disposable income laying around - but man I have too many hobbies. Still deciding if that one gets priority on my list.

It’s really good though.
Just buy it from YoYoExpert, that way you’ll be helping out some great folks.

I didn’t want to give YYF money so I bought a couple cork response new old stock from Spingear. Had to pay shipping from Japan but got two classics for like $60 shipped.
Lotaxi 3d modeled the response pads and I’m using them to experiment with 3d printed pads in various materials, cork fiber filament, carbon fiber composite, polypropylene, and tpu. Because the only current manufacturer of new pads is YYF and I wanted to subvert that. TPU pads are the best of the lot I think but I just mailed out some envelopes stuffed with pads to some folks to test.

Money still flows to YYF though, and I refuse to support them.

If you do get a used one or a new old stock from another manufacturer I’ll mail you some 3d printed replacement pads for free.
Same goes for any boomer that needs replacement pads, dm me and I’ll toss some in an envelope for you.
I’ll probably wait for the first few testers to let me know which material pads they like best and then I’m just gonna print a pile of them.

YYS has them - and “HUMPDAY” gets 15% off - so very tempting - but I’m suppose to be grounded. LOL!
Anyone playing a Turbo Grind Machine as a Fixie?
Well poop, I’ve been living under a rock on YYF being one not to support, don’t wanna open that can of worms with asking and I’ll trust y’all for reasoning.
Really sucks, I want more Kommunes in diff colors, but their are tons of good brands to support
