Friction Stickers (also known as Response Pads) are a common type of yo-yo response system that increase the friction the sides of the yo-yo have on the string, enabling the yo-yo to return. Although there are a number of different types of friction stickers, most tend to be similar sizes, so players can experiment with different types in the same yo-yo. Pads are also very versatile so they can be mixed and matched, or even only a have singular pad on one side for low-responsive play.

  • Friction Stickers (also known as Response Pads) are a common type of yo-yo response system that increase the friction the sides of the yo-yo have on the string, enabling the yo-yo to return. Although there are a number of different types of friction stickers, most tend to be similar sizes, so players can experiment with different types in the same yo-yo. Pads are also very versatile so they can be mixed and matched, or even only a have singular pad on one side for low-responsive play. Pads wear out from extensive use and so must be replaced regularly. However, many yo-yoers prefer pads after they have been 'broken in' so the yo-yo doesn't 'snap' back at their hand. Some of them replace the pads one at a time so at least one pad is broken in at all times. There are four major pad sizes. Most yo-yo companies use standard-sized pad recesses so that the yo-yoer can customize the yo-yo to his or hers desired response. The four standard recess sizes are small, large, .555, and silicone groove. Small sized pads only fit in yo-yos with an A sized bearing without a notable lip between the pad and the bearing. Large sized pads fit in yo-yos that have an A or D sized bearing and a lip between the bearing and pad. They also fit in a large bearing yo-yo without a notable lip between the bearing and pad. .555 pads are named because their inner diameter is .555 of an inch. .555 pads fit in large bearing yo-yos with a lip between the bearing and the pad. There is also the silicone groove. The silicone groove has no definite size but some companies such as YoYoJam, YoYoFactory, Duncan and One Drop have made yo-yos that use silicone stickers in a flowable silicone groove. The most common size for the silicone groove is the 19mm OD or "Large Slim".
