Hello everyone, I currently use these bulk strings: OT Fat, Kitty Fat, and Sochi Fat. How does a HKMT equipment Arata String compare with these? My favourite string I have tried up to date is OT Fat or Normal

Thank you 🙂

I dont have a lot to compare it to, but arata feels just like the OT Jonathan Sitanggang string i have now, not sure how that compares to regular ot, but both are really great strings, I really like arata. Compared to kitty which I have tried its softer, holds tension better, lasts longer and has nice comfortable whips

Arata string is thinner than OT Fat, holds tension well, good for slacks. I’ve heard it doesn’t last super long as it’s more a comp string, but in my experience it lasts fairly average. Lotta players think its the best HKMT string.

I’ve recently tried Ayumu string, and it reminds me of a stiffer Arata string(in the best way), just as thin, I enjoy it.
