Yooooo!
Getting into fixed axle again and I figured. What the hell? Buy some of that good string. But every thrown I’ve been tossing it on has been straight up unresponsive, which is killing the vibe.
What do?
I know I could’ve searched this issue but then I wouldn’t get to chat with you lovely folk.
crank the torsion way up and play 10 or 15 min until the string kinda “sets” the loop, then let it back off for normal play
Kot-n has a break in period but it gets there it is so.e really great string and last a long time. Crank the torsion really tight so that you get some response. Do some gravity pulls and after a few minutes you should be good. What yoyo have you tried it with?
Threw it on a new (to me) fallen 44, and my Apollo pro. Just as unsresponsive as could be. But I’ll crack that tension and live without kickflips for a bit.
Thanks dawg!
Pinch the string directly above the yoyo then spin the yoyo 5-10 times to tighten the string around the axle. While holding this tension around the axle carefully wind the yoyo up with out letting it come loose. Throw a few sleepers. Now you should be good to go.
Snag some Throw-Yo Nectar string 
I just put on a fresh [kot-n] on this morning. Threw an outside UFO to Sleeping Beauty, I do a lot of Planet Hops and a lot of Paddle Balls. Then I do a dozen or so Shoot the Moons to Stretch and Double or Nothing Fly Outs. The string is warmed up by now, I let it sit wound up for a few minutes. When I go back and play again, do some Sidewinders and tension and response will typically be consistent for weeks for Flips and Slack Loop Stalls. Remember to Have Fun, I always enjoy breaking in strings and response.
kot-n has a bit of a break in period you can work through it a bit by throwing several hard sleepers or other tricks that work in the string. Once it breaks in it lasts a long time and is one of the best cotton I’ve played but there is some annoyance initially.
