I know that there is no such thing as “best” string cuz we all have different opinions and stuff. But I was wondering what string is the best for it’s price. I want to get some and I was wondering about toxic string or expert string. Also what’s the difference between expert string and yoyoexpert string?

Toxic strings are very different from type to type, so you can’t really just say “Get Toxic”. I’ve tried the basic Toxic Yo-Yo String and also the Metz Strings. Two strings almost couldn’t be more different except that they’re both on the thick side.
I’ve tried every kind of strings I can get my hands on, and I hate to say it but you had it correct out of the gate: there is no best. I got some nice handmade Rainbow Strings from modman10 that work perfectly with my Token, and I’m enjoying the Metz strings in my Avant Garde. Chaser? Toxic originals. In my DNS, I have my last “prototype” string from GRYC that closely resembles their Powercords string.
I dunno, mang. They’re all different and they all suit different yoyos and (more importantly) different styles.
Pretty hard to screw up buying straight-up Kitty strings, though, if you just want to know a good, reliable standard string that you can buy in large quantities. :wink:

I personally would never buy more than a 50-pack at a time. I like trying out different kinds of string, though. If you try a particular brand of bulk string and you like it, having a large quantity means you can change the string more often without feeling like you’re burning through precious resources. :wink:
I’ve been buying 10-packs (in some cases, 5-packs!) just to try a bunch of different strings, and I still have many that are “just sitting there”, so my personal approach means that those quantities don’t make sense for me. But I think they make sense for the majority of people.
