So I wanted to try the gentry stein DNA string and so far it’s pretty nice. I’m practicing DNA and this really helps with the string not get all tangled

a tad expensive 20 for 9 strings but will see how log they last

Been curious about those. Your closeup pic make me wonder if you could recycle the swivel… When you’re done with that string, you should peel away that heat shrink and see if there’s a hook or eye under there where you could tie a new string

So this is my opinion of it. I really like it trying to do a DNA with regular string was getting super annoying because once you spawn it too far, you’d have to take it off your finger, unwind it, and put it back on your finger, do it over again and over again. with this string, you literally never have to take it off your finger for anything. I don’t care if you’re doing tricks or DNA. I practice DNA probably 10 or 12 times today and never once took the string off because it doesn’t get twisted. I think I’m gonna buy more of this string, I actually really like it

I’ll take a look after, I believe it’s tied to it. I’m not quite sure, but I don’t wanna pull the heat shrink back, but there might be a way I can take a look and see if it’s reusable or not
