I would have to say angel hair string. Its not too popular but once broken in it plays awesome and lasts forever. I believe alchemy does this string.

It can, yes. I actually thin lube the end of the string when I’m using a Butterfly so that it doesn’t happen.

I throw with Highlights. They are cheap and have a pretty consistent length.

I can’t stand 50/50 or cotton. Any 100% Ploy or Poly/Nylon Blend is fine, but it has to be thick and I go with Highlights over anything.
