I would suggest looking at @theendofcake 's String review page!

Personally I think the C3 Pro string is just good universal string for its price. Sochi also produces good product. I personally use Yoyo String Labs Nytro or KaPOW! for when I want a more refined string feel.

The aforementioned page:

> Hi y’all, I go by Cake online. I’ve always loved review content, and I’d like to be one of the first ones to focus specifically on string! I’ll be posting here when I have the time, and since I’m pretty perfectionist in nature the reviews will take a while per string, especially since I’m a full time college student and not getting paid for this. I just love yo-yos! Below will be my grading process, if you disagree with any of the criteria or feel like I missed anything, you can always comment …

Also on your thing about thick string- it’s all about preference and gap width. Narrow-gapped yoyos get snagged on thick string more easily and thus may bind unintentionally. However, they tend to be more comfortable than narrow string, last longer (per my experience- it could also just be my perception) and do just fine when paired with a wide-gap yoyo.

Thin string to me is gross but it is important to use in 2A. It also is compatible with more yoyos as they don’t have as much of a presence in the gap and are far less likely to unintentionally trigger the bind response.
