Few problems regarding string changing.

Buy some 3000yd cones of polyester (and/or cotton, nylon) overlock/serger sewing thread and twist your own. Experiment until you make something you like.
It will be much cheaper. If you don’t have a drill, you can twist it between your fingers, takes me 5 mins twisting just using my fingers (…the real handmade, pfffttt drills).

There is some great wisdom in this one. Your strings will last longer. String making is a lot of fun.

I use YYExpert Poly Orange. Use mine for 5 days to 1 1/2 weeks for one string.

I wear them out.

But, if you keep getting dirt on your string, play inside.

I do play inside.

Then you’re one dirty boy.

I dunno. Wash hands before throwing, or something.

I’m looking for the thread

@zomah2

you can buy packs of 100 strings for 10 bucks here on yoyoexpert. if you play hours everyday, then your gonna need to change your string every 4-5 days. if you dont change the string, the yoyo can fly off the string/snap the string and break something in the house. lightweight plastics do the same thing, and they can break stuff too. old yoyo string can make blisters, and if the yoyo string is dirty, it can sometimes even lead to infections. your health depends on changing your yoyo string often. also, if you have the packaging of a yoyo, you can show your dad where it says “play like a pro, change string often”. and you can even take it to the next level. pay for your own string, and if he tries to manage it, say that its yours and he cant manage it because YOU payed for it.

I live out of the US,I can’t pay for the shipping

find a skill toy store and most likely if they sell yoyos, they will sell string.

Take a string and play that one string for a week… Like legitly… Just that string… Then compare it to one of the same color… Us humans are dirty… We like oooze oils and sweat from our pores…

[zomah2]

yea show your dad the old string and a new string, and let him compare how it feels on his finger, how dirty it is, etc.

Can I use Spun polyester to make them strings?

[mista8eight8]

1- get a knife, cut your string
2- get snacktime or buddyjim strings, they last quite a while
3- bribe him
4- wear gloves, less contact, less grime

are you using yye slick 6? I couldn’t go more then an hour with them T_T

That’s what I uses line up 9-15 strands of poly thread, and then spin it with a drill till it’s nice and tight. Then let it twist up, and love the results.

[hebooz]

How much weight do i have to need at the end of the string?
