Re: non- sticky pads?

Try Yamaha “powder paper”. One of the best ways I’ve found to fix sticky pads. If you were to replace it I would probably go with cork, it shouldn’t affect the sound by any noticeable amount. All other pads have the potential to get sticky in my experience.

But if the issue is only with the pad covering the G tonehole, it’s probably not the pad. 9 times out of 10 the issue is that there is a depression in the key cork between the thumb ring and the front index finger key that the thumb key is getting caught on. Before replacing the pad just try sanding the cork flat and see if that helps.
