    Question Griot's pads similar to which LC pad?

    I bought the Griot's kit that came with one orange pad and one red pad. I'd like to stock up on some LC pads because they are smaller and cheaper (plus get a smaller backing plate of course). I'm going to be using Griot's products for now (came with the kit) which I assume can be used with the Hydro-Tech pads.
    Are the Griot's pads more like the LC hydro-tech or flat pads? I'd like to stay consistent on types of pads between Griot's and LC as I learn this hobby.

    Thanks

    IMO The Griots pads are very close to the LC Flat pads. FWIW I would make the change to the Hydro-Tech pads and never look back. I think the new Hydro-Tech thin pads will be awesome (But I have not used them....Yet!)

    I don't know, are you thinking for the Flex? There might be a strength issue being so thin and with the power of the Flex? I guess we will find out soon enough.
