Normally I switch to Alphaline after I wear out the stock string on a butterfly but here lately that just doesn’t seem to respond as consistently as I’d like. Does anyone know where I can get replacement stock string? I know Duncan sells poly on their site but the description says it’s replacement for their “professional” yoyos. Something tells me it’s probably thinner than what comes on a butterfly but maybe not? I just don’t want to get a bag of 100 strings and then it not be what I’m looking for. Also open to some other recommendations as well. ---

I was using OT string with good success. On a whim, I tried a ZS Air, and wow, the nylon and metal axle just give it incredible spin time for string tricks, and ZS Air holds loops for kickflips like a champ. Takes a good half an hour to break the string in but they last forever, response isn’t as tight but it works great for my needs If you aren’t aspiring to do long string tricks though and primarily 0A, I really like OT for that ---

Definitely looking for something with some snappy response without a metric ton of tension. What is OT? ---

Thanks! You recommend the regular or thick? I’m finding that some thicker strings don’t always grab well, example Sting Labs Ammo. I think it’s too thick for it sit side by side on the axle so it can’t grab the walls, instead it just kinda stacks in the gap if that makes sense.
