**Top to Bottom** **BNC** - Thick and Bouncy **TH** - Thin for old school throws, narrow gaps. Also for learning tricks with MANY layers. **NOLY** - Nylon and 3 different poly thread weights. Suicide/Slack loops you can climb through. **CORE** - Cotton/Poly mixture that is long-lasting while still soft on fingers. **UNNNAMED** - 5 different poly thread weights. Itā€™s just plain fun! ![StringFling2020](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/7/7/277d1e8b255d16c07db19b7a84f48386da850265.jpeg) ---

Yeah, thereā€™s still time. No rush. Iā€™m trying to send out around March 1. So as long as I get yā€™allā€™s strings by around Feb 20, Iā€™ll be hunky dory. hereā€™s the rig. 12ā€™ 2x4 cut in half. 8ā€™ 2x4 cut in half. 4 3in zinc screws. 8 7/8ths cup hooks. 1 3in door hinge. 30 minutes work, under 20 bucks. Boom. Now I can get (for now) 4 strings at once. Soon, Iā€™ll expand to 6. ![15796603783275278462131148212375](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/5/b/05bf4aaafb6ec5e6e1e8e8249006f84897eff419.jpeg) ![15796604838981645331508226299076](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/c/9/7c94c163867e773615e059821657db4f9b05a455.jpeg) Still have to make measurements and figure out my ā€œfold string in halfā€ situation. ---

you can fold the strings by putting an extra hook near, or in the middle, of your rig, and use that. ---

Now I can get (for now) 4 strings at once. Soon, Iā€™ll expand to 6. The strings donā€™t need to be nearly that far apart. Mine are about 1" apart, so I can fit 5 strings across a 1/2 foot long chunk of wood. And you can have them share hooks when folding them in half. ---

Oh, yeah. But the hooks were in an 8 pack and Iā€™m just doing proof of concept. ā€œEventuallyā€ (read: soon) Iā€™ll be updating. First learn this, then increase efficiency. ---
