Thread: Black Kentaro pad vs Silicon?

My silk came with a black kentaro pad which is very unresponsive.

I have some flowable silicon and was wondering which would be more responsive? I would like my yoyo to be more responsive.

If you do the silicone flush rather than recessed, it'll be more responsive.

So its very responsive but you want it more responsive? I assume its a typo.oo and you want it less respnsive?

Recess the silicone slightly and it will be less responsive than flush. Its worth cleaning the bearing before you do, if you havent already

kentaro's smooth out quit a bit once that texture is gone.

I would figure silicone being more responsive then kentaro's.

sorry i meant its currently unresponsive.
i want it more responsive. will sillicon be more responsive than the kentaro pad?

If you leave it flush, yes.

Give learning to bind a go, may as well, gotta do it sooner or later.

Ok, point taken - you dont HAVE to :P

I still think its useful to learn how to play with an unresponsive yoyo though. Im sure Spencer and Yuuki know how to bind besides, a lot of players learn tricks on an unresonsive yo, then use a responsive one to smooth it out.

useful it is, but i find it more useful to try doing tricks on a responsive yoyo, because it tends to smoothen out my style of play... anyone else care to back me up on this?

Definately, nothing quite makes you want to learn a trick better than the risk of being cracked in the knuckles with a fast moving metal or plastic projectile

A silk will not hold silicone at all. I tried drilling holes into it before giving up and just silicone recessing the whole groove deeper.

Learning a trick comes first, smoothing it out comes second.

As far as i'm concerned anyway.
