I’ve been getting good feedback on my string length question so now I thought I’d ask what everyone’s favorite string brand / material / color / size is? I’m rockin String Lab’s Venom mostly. Seems to have good elasticity but not too stretchy like full nylon, which I can’t get super used to. Got some full Nylon from a company called AirTec a while ago. Crazy stretch. I’m not sure if Venom is solid poly, but I think so. I have a feeling the 50/50 poly/nylon might be great. Thoughts? Other brands I should try? Favorite colors ?
Zipline makes the best strings, by far in my opinion. They have something for all preferences (poly, nylon, blends) but my absolute favorites were their Executive Class Lites (I think these have been rebranded as just Executive Class, now).
Edit: I was pretty impressed with Big Red String, but only have them on a couple throws and haven’t played them very much. Just love those ECLs so much…

I used to love Spintastics Slick-6 strings in the early to mid-2000s, but now generally prefer 100% polyester in normal thickness. In terms of color, I usually use yellow or neon green for ease of visibility, but white is great for that classic look.
My favorite string is Something Type-2, but I do not believe they make this one anymore. Sochi bulk normal thickness is a great all around string.
For casual throwing, I don’t mind most bulk string (Yoyoexpert, Yoyofriends, Duncan, etc.) since I usually just change it out after an hour to keep that nice new string feel.
