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. ---

> [@d4rqk0n3](#): > > they are soft 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 😃 ---

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. ☹ [http://www.yoyoguy.com/PN/STR19/Yo-Yo-String/Alchemy-String](http://www.yoyoguy.com/PN/STR19/Yo-Yo-String/Alchemy-String) ---

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. [http://www.euro-yo.com/acatalog/Alchemy\_Yo-yo\_String\_Pack\_of\_5.html](http://www.euro-yo.com/acatalog/Alchemy_Yo-yo_String_Pack_of_5.html) ---

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 😃 😛 ---

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 😃
