What does this string happen to do that sets it apart from reg. poly? I use only pink strings for visual ease with tricks, and I think it looks beast, and Kitty String has BABY pink strings. I want to like these, real bad, but am not hesitant to spend $16.00 on bulk string if I can spend $12.00… Also, I know the fat string is supposed to be for more of a responsive feel, but I don’t do speedy tricks. Would the Fat strings fit my flowing, slow paced style more? Thank you. ---

I don’t know the answers to all those questions, but in general I find Kitty and standard poly to be somewhat close… I do like the kitty a bit more. Softer on the finger somehow (don’t ask me how). Standard poly starts to hurt me after a while, and the kitty doesn’t seem to. Standard poly seemed to get fuzzier and somehow… I dunno… “worn out” more quickly. The fat kitty… I didn’t find it very fat. It’s a perfectly fine string, but it’s not a giant leap or anything. Frankly, I couldn’t really tell the difference after an hour of throwing (breaking in the string). Maybe when it was fresh it seemed fatter (or I could have been imagining it) but over time, not really. Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t get it. It’s a nice string, it just doesn’t live up to the “fat” name. ---

i dont like fat strings so i wont comment on that… but kitty string in general is VERY soft and comfy and lasts a lot longer than normal poly IMO. If youre curious buy a 10 pack and try em out ---

Kitty string is just Slightly above average yoyo string. And I prefer fat string because normal seems a little bit to thin. Fat would probs fit your style of play, but you can do fast tricks with fat strings. ---

Aside from toxic, Kitty is my favorite. It seems to keep it’s “freshness” a bit longer than standard poly. Whips better too (still personal opinion). And for some reason, the Kitty pink seems incredibly soft, even when compared to my red and black Kitty. I don’t know about fat Kitty, since I like thinner strings. …SSsssss… ---
