I have alpha line and I really like it however the yellow is sold out. So I was wondering how does alpha line compare to the new kitty Fat. Are they the same thickness? How soft is it? Thanks ---

The new Kitty Fat (Japan version, not the classic Philippines versions) is a little thicker and more course than Alphaline. The Classic version is softer that Alphaline. ---

I have the new kitty normals , and the alphaline . The alphaline is thicker, but the kitty normal hold tension just as well, and sometimes better than the alphaline for me. ?Both are great strings. I use them both, they are mixed up in a giant pile so I just randomly grab one or the other.
