Whips and slack tricks are my favorite kinds of tricks. I personally use _Billy Bob’s_ String. Lasts WAY longer than kitty string. Excellent string with a long life, good stiffness for slacks and whips, and hold tension well. ---

Kitty is great for beginners and it is rather cheap I would go with that first and then you can experiment with some other strings like I personally like the YYSL AMMO it is awesome but again there are many good strings out there. ---

Well, I only know Kitty Strings so far. I found the fatter ones to provide a more obvious and stable slack, whip, and suicides. They also bind pretty tight. Look out for the increased snagging as you increase the string’s thickness. ---

I’ve been using dragon string lately, I think it handles everything pretty well. Kitty string is a good string as well. But in my opinion ammo wears out way to fast. ---

if you want some string that has incredible whips and slacks and lasts forever try Y3 strings. They are a newer company but the string is just amazing and last superrr long. ---

Toxic is the best string. My favorites are rheir original, snakes, bg yellow jackets, and great whites. Dragons aren’t bad eithee. They have many different blends. I can’t recommend them highly enough. ---

Check out YoYoyakuza’s Y3 Yoyo strings, I just got some, haven’t truly played with the poly’s yet, cuz im in love with his 50/50’s so far, haven’t played enough with them to give a detailed review for them yet. but these 50/50’s ARE FREAKING AMAZING! at whips and slacks, they are lil pricey but give them a try man. I assure you with the 50/50’s you cant go wrong.
