Reddit mentions of MAGICYOYO Yo-Yo Silicone Response Pads- Yellow- Set of 12 - Slim

These have been great in my experience for pads.

Get some narrow response pads in that puppy if you want it to be still responsive, but better functioning.

I hated the DV888, and realized too late that it was the response. I hated it for the same reason I hated the One, and found out after modding my OneStar: The fat freaking response pads.

However, you can swap out with some narrow response pads and it'll work. In fact, I just did this to my YYF One, and my MagicYoYo N9, modded withba shorter axle and bearing, is this way. Notable examples of narrow-padded throws with narrow bearings that are awesome and responsive are also the YYF Whip, the Duncan Freehand, YoTricks/YYF Sage, and the Recess First Base (which I've trashed here often, but I love it now). To point you at a standard these pads, in any of the SLIM 19mm pad selections are what I mean, but I personally really dig these, for quite a bit less, but I also get free shipping through Prime.... Your yoyo will still be responsive (I'd recommend keeping that bearing lubed with a thick lube for reliable, predictable binds), but you'll actually be able to do more tricks and learn more complicated ones without the pads catching it and ripping it violently towards your hand if you flub something at some point.

If you want to go fully unresponsive (or, I guess, bind return, depending on where you've been around the internet), you'll need narrow pads, a wider bearing, and a wider axle which you can get in the YYF Upgrade Kit
