What brand response pads come in the Hummingbird stock? Or are they all silicone’d by hand? ---

Regular 3M pads ---

Apologies, but I don’t know what a “Regular 3M pad” is. I don’t see them for sale on YYE, for instance. ---

It’s just regular 19mm pads made from 3M. They are the standard pads on alot of yoyos.i don’t think they sell it anywhere. I think any other standardized 19mm pads should be fine as a replacement. ---

Okay. The variable in all this is the hardness of the silicone. For instance, YYF’s pads come in several different hardness variants, all of them colored differently. But the clear pads in yoyos like the Hummingbird are hard to pin down in this regard if they are “generic” in some fashion. I guess if I ever replace the pads in a Hummingbird I’ll just put in One Drop slim pads since I love One Drop pads. ---

One Drop’s slim pads might be too slim for standard silicone grooves. .8mm vs 1.1mm. Worth trying though. ---

So One Drop slim pads are too slim and One Drop standard pads are too thick, right? Dang it! ---

They’re not necessarily too thin, they’re just slightly thinner than other slim pads.
