Dang stupid friction stickers :p

[zowiez]

So I got my FHZ and the friction stickers wore out in a couple hours, I can bind, but when I do there is a big gap of free string and I'm getting really poor launches! What do I DO TO IMPROVE THIS!!!!  There is like 2 inches of free string that the yoyo grabs when I bind and I cant get a strong throw!?!?!?!

Duncan stickers need to be replaced too often to be worth it.

I would invest in a recess job(silicone or pad, whichever you prefer), or a bunch of thin Dif pads.

[zowiez]

Yeah, I get im going to be buying some pads, then i will recess in the future, man I hate those stickers, blah: they suck!

[zowiez]

So which pads do i get? Dif-E-Yo .555 Dif-Pad THIN ---or----Dif-E-Yo Dif-Pad THIN

[Michael]

No need for .555. Just get the normal thin ones.

gotcha, I'm stocking up, whats the play life on them? duncan wear out so fast its retarted.

[Michael]

They should last you at least two weeks.

[zowiez]

In the mean time, I heard someone say they had success with melting wax over the worn out Duncan pad. Don't have any info besides that but hopefully it will help some.

I donno about wax, but I have put silicone over a worn sticker with moderate success.  I like the feel of fresh Friction Biscuits so much, but it's such a fleeting feel.

Anybody wanna trade a few sheets to me?

Dif pads last a few years... But they would require you to bind once it breaks in...
