a bit shorter one(?), hope yall don’t mind
C3 Nova String || B- (80/100)
The string is a bit rough, definitely rougher when you break it in, but not unusable by any means. Binds are tight, probably a mix between its normal-fat thickness and its slightly tighter wind. Slacks have a bit of a forward lean to them, and they feel sort of, full? Nicely and comfortably fast, which carries to its whips. Lacerations feel very easy to do, but aren’t overturned in speed by any means. Over time, I think the string sort of evened out for performance quality. The only sort of problem I find is with the tension holding: it’s great over time and sort of powers through some tricks that normally ask you to even out tension beforehand, but it gets tangled during tricks where the slack is a bit slower and looser. This is with every string to be fair, but I feel it’s more pronounced with this one. Plus it gets sticky and gross on my hands, which is a self-report on my end but I don’t CARE !!! Good string, l guarantee if you’re reading this, it has a chance of being your favorite if you give it a chance. Stats below.
