I usually prefer normal Kitty string but with the Summit, I find that the fat stuff works better for me. Yuki ---

Fat. It’s softer and binds better than normal. ---

I was having the same problem with my Summit… The issue is with the response. I absolutely despise CLYW response pads (both white and aqua). I swapped them out for Hard IrPads, and now I can use any string I like without snagging. ---

I actually really dislike the fat Kitty string, especially in my Summit. I’ve exclusively been playing String Lab Type X or String Lab Ammo in my Summit (with aqua and white Snow Tires) and never had a single problem with snagging. I know Kitty string is budget friendly but I also feel like it breaks down/wears out way too quickly. I don’t like to be constantly changing string and all Kitty string, in my opinion, lasts 1-2 days before it’s all shredded and ceases holding appropriate tension at all. ---

will a trifecta bearing decrease snagging?
