OK, so that No Jive I [unboxed maybe 2-3 hours ago?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/waxing-the-wood-axle-on-a-wooden-yo-yo/296549/19) the cotton string on it just broke 🤨

And that’s with christmas dinner in between, not like I was throwing the whole time!

(You might say, “Well, maybe this was an old stock string from 1998” but I’ve had the same exact experience with new cotton strongs and new cotton/poly strings I bought from YYE less than a year ago.)
