YoYoStringLab AMMO I just love the feel of it. Its not a gimmicky string, it just plays like a great string should. Its really soft, decent at whips and slacks, and the extra thickness is nice for better, tighter, more consistent binds ---

To be honest, I hate almost every “high quality” string, I generally don’t like their feel. I like the Kitty, fat and normal, though, but having to shorten them every single time I change them is boring. So instead I play with GT or standard unbranded 100% poly my favorite store carries. ---

YYSL Venom. I’ve slowly given away my other random leftover fresh strings with yoyos I’ve sold/traded, aside from a lot of Chaos 422/622 that I’m keeping, I love how it plays but it stays too rough for too long. Ordered a 100 pack of Venom this week (first time ordering a 100 pack of string since 2008) which will likely last 2+ years so I pretty much consider it a lifetime supply. I’ve tried a lot of string and while some may be slightly better in some categories, nothing holds string tension, stays soft, whips/slacks well and lasts as long as Venom. Takes only a few throws to break in and plays just as well from then up until it gets furry, grey and all around gross. It does lose its “new string bounce” after a while but that’s not a game changing characteristic for me. Everyone has their own preferences, but Venom really feels like the perfect all around string for all the things I care about. ---

I really like the snake bite string, just wish they were longer. Yysl type x is pretty good. Need to try more kinds. ---

There are so many strings out there. Of the few names I have tried I am happiest with Kitty and String Shack. At least for now. ---
