Thanks in advance for any help. Looking for a good quality Thin string in bulk. Tried zeekio probably slick 6 and was ok but didn’t hold-up well. Tried cloud 9 and loved them. What’s a good in-between on the above mentioned, or any suggestions. ---

I really enjoy Original Throw Jonathan Sitanggang string or OT slim as normal/thin string of choice. (I also stretch my strings before use which will also get them a bit thinner) ---

I have the string currently in yo-yos like the aroundsquare not-machine, butterfly, and my 2a pair. I don’t often play responsive, but find it more than fine for my uses! (These all have the jonathan string) ![IMG_0104](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/6/006c2498486e77406ea1192bc76d140fec641878.jpeg) ---

Kitty Slim and Kitty Kento Muraoka - Pastel Pink are thinner than Normal Kitty. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/d/1/7d1ce995c33fd96ab16fd278cc225c071d3004b6.jpeg) ---

If you need thin thin, I’d recommend Return Bottoms string as it’s the same as the no longer available RCS Oh Canada string. If not needing it that thin, I second the OTS thinner options. Both available in bulk. ---

Not bulk- but the best strings around (imo ofc) are the Thin Nylon strings from Big Red. Get some Thin Fire and Ice and Thin Golden Retriever and you will not be dissappointed! ---

I don’t have much experience with thin strings at all, but of the few I’ve tried the Return Bottoms Oh Canada strings stand out as top dog by a decent margin. ---

I like the OT slim but I find it can be a bit thick for my fixed axle set ups at times. @Son-of-Morris recently recommended the iYoyo Slackies Slim and sent me some. Liking it so far, it has a nice rigidity for holding loops while doing kickflips and such. Plus it is twisted really tight which means it seems to work well for small axles right away without having to play too much with the string torsion. Looking forward to trying them out more. 🤙 ---
