I used to really, really dislike full nylon. It still isn’t my favorite, but I’ve found that if you stretch it like you’re mad at it before using it, it becomes a little more enjoyable (less springy)

I make my own. (Only a few. Selling only a few) IF I’m lazy, I’ll grab a plutonium. I do want to try @BadWolfeCo strings but haven’t gotten around to trying them.

I’m a little bit biased lol. I make mine to be what I like, so of course I like them best. But as for other brands, Airetic are fantastic pure nylon strings, sucks to see them closing. Twisted Strings are great for a bulk string, as are Vines. I’m also a fan of Zipline’s smoothie line. I honestly haven’t tried a lot of other strings, because I don’t ever want to seem like I’m copying anyone else’s.
@Chriscatastrophe sorry to hear it gave you string burn, feel free to DM me if you want a refund or replacement or anything. I’m surprised you like Sochi and Twisted more, to me they feel rougher and more likely to give me burns but I guess that’s why they say “to each their own.” Glad you’ve got something that works for you.

Wow! 10/10 service. I’ve only tried 4 yy string lab strings, kitty reg, kitty 1.5 nylon, zeekio, top yo string, magic yoyo, and those free yyf strings. Oh and mine.

I used to really love Lifeline Strings. When Cody shut down his shop, he helped me out a ton while I was learning. I owe that man a lot, he actually gave me my first yoyo and got me into the hobby. RIP Lifeline Strings.

Nothing but pure Cat gut or Barn sisal
I got a few Lifeline strings in a BST trade and they are some killer strings. Wish I could get more.

The quality was undoubtedly great so no complaints there . No refund necessary . I think it was just a unique preference thing. I appreciate your customer service I hope it didn’t sound like I was trying to be overly critical , just giving my honest experience .

Zipline - They restock the first Friday of each month.
String Lab - Good string that is usually in stock here at the Yoyo Expert store. The sampler pack is a good place to start.

Oh yeah no worries, didn’t seem overly critical or anything at all. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t unhappy with it, and I totally understand different preferences. All good!

Yes, and it permeates in the players’ hands, hidden in plain sight, with different names and shapes
