Players Opinions of LP Gore Pads?

I was wondering what professional players think of LP Gore pads? I have not seen so many with them as the majority seem to be plain bladder or premium leather. Any thoughts welcome.

If they are the same as what Buffet uses, then I don't care for them. I guess they more tar resistant than the plain bladder pads that Buffet uses, but they don't stay flat. There are some very good synthetic pads being made and cork is still popular in the US. I know that leather is popular in Great Britain. Whatever floats your boat.

I've seen my fair share of them on Buffets and don't care much for them either.
