> [@Buggot](#): > > I’ve heard that Kitty doesn’t last long though. About how long does its string last before you have to replace it? Obviously it depends on how much you throw. Factor in humidity and such. I go through, at least, one Kitty String per day. It loses it’s ability to hold slacks well pretty quickly though. I could go through 4-5 per day if I were more vigilant about it’s non-slackiness. ---

Yeah, I’d like to keep my string as long as possible. I think I’m not gonna go with Kitty if I have to keep rebuying it. Thanks though 🙂 ---

Kitty 1.5 hands down. If you are the kind of person to always replace your string, the fact that it ‘doesn’t last as long’ won’t matter, and if you never change it anyways it still doesn’t matter. It’s not like the string will snap (under normal circumstances), unless you keep it for a long time. I got myself a 100 pack of it right after I got a 100 pack of blueprint. Haven’t touched the blueprint since and I’ve gone through maybe 20-25 in ~a month across 15 different throws. I’m also the kind to not spend the time with a bad knot and just change string. ---

Thanks though 🙂 You will want premium poly, then, but you’ll also have to pay for it. Toxics are some of my personal favorites, specifically the standard toxics and dragons. The others tend to get a little hairy for my taste. And you will need to replace your string regardless at some point. I will say that even though I like toxics, economically you’d come out ahead if you’d just buy the kitties and replace them. I actually snapped a string on an old Da Bomb looping it at my girlfriend. It hit her, and she was not impressed. Luckily it’s light and plastic 8) ---
