Brakepad FHZ

Trevor mod this for me.
i told him i have the idea of brakepadding a FHZ.
the original idea of brakepad was to stop the bearing with the 'teeth' of the pads.
i love the friction that the cork surface gives, it provide very nice support/friction between the string and the walls, but i don't really like the idea of the teeth. its snaggy when new, and after it wears out the string slips.

so i ask for this mod.
someone did this BPT mod on a FH1 very long ago, but its not the sticker recess way, it's how a BeeGT would look w/o the 'teeth'... in that way u'll need to use cap spacers if not it'll cause a string slippage problem. and using cap spacers, you'll need small yomega size bearing, Beefcaked. then it'll cause a throwback, because the gap will be too wide for tis bearing size.
i din't want throwback, i din't want beefcaked either, i want a normal bearing size, so i request to mod it like how u would recess a FH, but more depth, and larger diameter.
and this is the outcome.
u want smooth unresponsive? wash the bearing.
u want it responsive but not snaggy? lube it.



every mod has a purpose, to improve it...
but well now most does not. they just want to make it look different.
or they simply just want a modded yoyo.
but this mod have a purpose. and it made it.
