First review! Had some time today to throw a new string, which is the favorite of a lot of people!
YoYoStringLab Plutonium || B+ (87/100)
When I first played this, my first thought was how soft and nice to touch it was, and it stayed like that throughout the hour of play. On the bind it felt really thick, but not too thick that I thought negative about it immediately. Kept its bounce, but by the end of the hour it looked pretty bad aesthetically.
Tech tricks against the spin were absolutely terrifying (and i hit my knuckles about 5 times), but i’m sure it’s just a skill issue. I’ve seen better tension holding, whips became janky near the end of the hour. If it weren’t for the weird thick tension mix getting in the way of whips, it would be perfectly consistent.
Overall, highly recommend if thick playing string is your thing and you don’t mind a few snags. HIGHLY recommend on a gap bigger then 4.5 mm.
