Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to make string. I don’t really want to sell, I want to try it more than use it all the time too. But if it’s good (which I doubt it will be) use it alot. I’m getting into more slacks and whips lately so that’s important. ---

Got a pretty good one for you. Thin, holds up nicely, nice, stiff loops. Tension is a slight problem though. [How to Make Yoyo String -Including Tricks to Make it Easier - Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,12627.0.html) ---

I’m really confused with this stuff. I don’t understand it that well. I see in videos they make knots and stuff and twist and then after twisting it’s like not twisted so then they put it on two yoyos and it twist it itself or something? :-[ ---

I see in videos they make knots and stuff and twist and then after twisting it’s like not twisted so then they put it on two yoyos and it twist it itself or something? :-[ Follow my directions exactly. I’m pretty sure it shows you where to tie the knots, which is pretty straightforward. I think for mine… 2 knots for single color, and an extra knot for every new color. And twisting… use a drill to twist, read my link. And when you put it on a yoyo, the tension in the string allows it to twist itself. (Think the worst string tension you’ve ever had.) Maybe I should make a video… but I don’t have a good camera… I just have a digital one… I’ll make a vid tomorrow on that, but it’s really hard to see… but I’ll do it if you want.
