i am not an experienced yo yoer and i need some more string but not sure which to get. I really like the string i was using the only problem is i don’t know what it is because i got it from a friend. I know its about preference but i wanted to know what your opinion is. Btw i am going to be using a legacy if it makes any difference.
I THINK that you should get 100% poly. It nails it for slacks, and suicides. I just love the YoYoeXpert kind too. 50/50 is a great choice too. It lasts longer due to how much cotton is in it. I think it seems to loose its tension faster than poly.
I’d take Poly over cotton anyday, but I’ve never tried the 50/50. In my experience, the poly seems to not catch as much on the response (good or bad, depending on outlook), but maybe that’s just me.
I’ve played with cotton, poly, cotton poly blends, Nylon, Nylon poly blends, Nylon cotton poly blends, nylon cotton blends, and a few other blends. I’ve also played with different blends of poly. Yes there are softer polys and stiffer polys. Seems to me that I find myself going back to the stock store polys. Wether it be from YYE to the other stores doesn’t really matter. I will say that YYE poly is different than the other stores. Seems the tension is different. I just bought 300 strings from here with a few other things. It was the first time I bought strings from YYE and when I pulled them out of the box I noticed that they looked different. Just the twist. I now have a favorite string. I was all highlights and dayglow (from other stores) for the 6 years I’ve been throwing. But now I have changed. I don’t know if they get their strings from someone different than the other stores but I love this string.
100 cotton i find is a bit more responsive and wears out quickly
50/50 is almost the same as 100 cotton, but has a slick feel to it (hence why some call it “slick” string).
100 poly is fairly unresponsive and lasts a good long time.
Havn’t tried alchemy/angel hair yet. but they’re supposed to last a looong time and play like a dream…well, once they’re broken in that is. before they’re broken in they’re like very stiff plastic.
thanks dude, I don’t get that often haha
Yeah gorrila_YO hooked me up with this siggy. I used to have one with an yellow Cut, but I changed it to a nano blaster raw edition
