Cake’s String Reviews (String Saturday)

hey y’all, had time to fit one more review into the weekend! i’m coming down with something , so i’ll be taking the next review at a slower pace. this one’s a recommendation from @Benthrowsyoyo and @YoYoExpertEric ’s signature!

YoYoStringLab KaPow! || B+ (89/100)

Gonna be honest here, this surprised me. Texture is something I care about a lot in string, and while it was soft, it was weirdly scaley throughout the hour (you could really feel every strand). Besides that, this string is a performance powerhouse. Whips are amazing, slacks are amazing, and it stays amazing for a while. Like Plutonium, you need your technique down for tricks that go against the spin so it doesn’t catch. In my opinion, having the string be a less thick and a hair less “there” would be perfect. Without my personal preferences, this string would be an A. This is objectively good string, give it a shot!

Durability 30 min (4.5)
Durability 1 hr (5)
Personal Thickness Feel (3.5)

Slack Feel Break-In (5)

Total: 44.5 x 2 = 89, 89 = B+ graded based on letter system (A: 100-90, B: 89-80, C: 79-70, D: 69-60, F: 60<)

Any feedback or recommendations are welcome, and make sure to follow me on instagram @cakeyoyos, i might start making these reviews in video format along with text (strong might, depends on how much string is out there). thanks for reading!
