Cake’s String Reviews

it’s actually really consistent performance-wise, but some strings have a super small strand sticking out. normal bulk string things, nothing to complain about on my end. also,

Mowl String || B- (82/100)
Mowl String

The string is real rough, didn’t expect it to be honest. It’s tightly wound enough where it feels slick and barely textured, and I found myself considering the hour a chore bc of the comfort factor (this isn’t my taste). However! The thickness is close to perfect (normal/fat i think, i don’t know the exact labeled thickness), slacks are a bit fast and more forward-shaped like with Rope and Phoenix, and whips are similarly fast. I was honestly expecting it to play like Takeshi V3, dragon foam, or other forms of trilobal because of how rough it feels, but it’s considerably slower.

Over the hour, the string sort of solidified and lost any bounce to it, the feeling of which is exaggerated by the roughness. The durability was amazing and felt like how it was new. Tension holding and consistency are so good that I barely noticed them as factors because I was too focused on my tricks, which I think is exactly what you want in string: something that blends into the background seamlessly. In my case though, this blending in only happened once I got used to the roughness. This is perfectly fine string, I see no issue with it, only preferences. Stats below.

Total: 41 x 2 = 82, 82 = B- graded based on letter system (A: 100-90, B: 89-80, C: 79-70, D: 69-60, F: 60<)
