Well generally I use monkey fingers Vines fat. They are the best combination between softness and durability and they hold tension pretty well ( and are easily available in Europe) yoyo string lab type X are the best I have ever tried but is harder to get them in Europe. ---

Bad Wolfe Co for me as well. I’m surprised this has only been mentioned once so far. Their nylon sliccs are top tier. I used to alternate between them and Airetic. Now that Airetic is gone, I’m all-in for Bad Wolfe Co. ---

I used to use bulk - C3, Twisted, Vines and Sochi were all excellent. They have different characteristics, but had similar performance and lifespan (measured in hours for me). I now use Markmont Cumulus Foam and it’s great. I wouldn’t say it’s better than the first 30 minutes of a bulk string’s life. But, the performance is comparable and the feel is different. They seemingly last forever as I use them for a week and then run them through the laundry. ---

> [@x0mb](#): > > Now that Airetic is gone What!? ☹ Best yoyo string is impossible to define imo. Different yoyos work better with different strings. I currently use a variety of strings depending on the yoyo type, gap width, or desired feel. My ‘average’ string is a standard non-poly or hybrid Zipline or Markmont. If the gap is a bit thicker I go with Zipline Skylines or Airetics. For fixies it is type 6 YYE cotton (my experience with Ziplines Kot-n or whatever it’s called is lacking). Haven’t found the magic string for 2A just yet, but im searching. And sometimes ill just string up a beater with bulk string. I always seem to forget about my Yoyo Stringlabs strings, but they are a bit nicer than bulk, but not quite as long lasting as the “boutiques”. I have yet to try Bad Wolfe Co strings, but the hype is there, and seems to be real. ---

I like Sochi , original throw, and twisted strings I would say twisted is my current favorite with original throw just behind. I have tried bad Wolfe but the nylon/poly blends gave me pretty bad string burn. I don’t really care for full on nylon, too springy for me and is not great for binds .
