    Review: Cobra Cross Groove pads

    So I whipped out my white Cobra Cross Groove pads today and I must say I despise them. I will either be selling them or they will be finding their way in the trash. I used the white pad and this pad skips like none other. I thought CCS pads were bad with skipping, and I bought a cobra cross...
