So… getting to where I kill my strings (poly YYE strings), about 3-4 strings daily, since I tend to pick up the nearest yo-yo on a break during work just to pass the time and such. Seen a lot of G String talk and was looking into getting a few. So… comments? They really that good? Know a better option other than G String? Looking to increase the durability, doesn’t really matter if they’re built more for slacks or anything like that, just longer lasting.
G-String is phenominal not only does it last longer way longer than generic poly but it plays better too. I recomend the Intentus, Soft Core and NOLY formats. All work extremly well and last forever.
I like G Strings but I feel they are too expensive for my tastes. I recommend you try some Alchemy, not Angel Hair but Alchemy string. They take a little longer to fully break in, but once they are they don’t stretch out much, they are soft, and they last me easy 2 days and I play about 5-8 hours a day considering I am unemployed. They are kinda rough on your fingers before they are broken in but once they are they are easily my favorite string.
I politely disagree that they are soft, I find them stiff. Remember they are 100% Nylon…
Though I do agree that they are a nice qualitly string. Great for whips and lacerations. Extremely fast.
I had a feeling someone would dispute that. My meaning is once broken in they are soft. Not as soft as a poly broken in, but my meaning is, and unless my tactile senses are off I will stand by it is. If I take a Broken in Alchemy and a Fresh Poly and run them through my fingers, they feel about the same. Again this is just my opinion. Thank Gizzyo for pointing out how that sounded so I could clarify my meaning
I don’t think I have played alchemy enough to be fully broken in. You could be right to. Though as stated above; it’s all opinion.
Alchemy strings eh? Okay, any possible link to a definite site? Googling and I’m coming across a few randoms, not entirely sure. YoYoGuy? Best site I’ve come across, link follows. Turns out YYG is out of stock too.
Dang, welp that is sadly the only place I know to get them I kind of wish YYE would stock them. I Checked ■■■■■■■ and Yoyonation but to no avail. I’d send you some but I am getting low on them myself
However if you get the chance I would recommend at least giving them a shot.
Yeah, thanks for the consideration. I’ll definitely give them a shot, whenever I come across anything with them in stock anyways. Open to more opinions otherwise, to all you peoples browsing this part of the forums.
Managed to find a site with a few alchemy string(s) in stock, but it’s in euro,lol. Euro-yo, if anyones willing enough to buy through them and all.

Yeah I was going to post that here like right now but… seems like you got it covered. I MIGHT do it because I love it so much, I might buy them out of it too if I happen to do it Apparently Alchemy Yoyos is sadly out of business so I don’t know if this string is going to still be available unless someone dissects it and makes some out of the home
Which I am tossing the idea around, but I am positive it is just very thin nylon, I haven’t tried to figure out what type it is yet but when I do I might just build up a rig and a BUNCH of thread I’d be the first to sell 100 bundles out of the home
What about trying chaos string?
Haha, yeah… I’m thinking about buying some, maybe I’ll get my paycheck in time, and have enough left over (bills… yay…) in order to get a 5 pack or such, just to see if I like them or not. Did some digging of my own and also saws them out of business. Come on , make them strings for us, well… me specifically because I’m selfish lol…
lol, I gotta get the money to do it first but I am already thinking of a rig that will let me make 5 strings at once with one drill. I would just need to build it and buy 5 cheapos from Wal-Mart to spin them out right
