What string, in your opinion, lasts the longest. And is there any way to prolong the life of your string? ---

Gator Floss - sadly… 😢 Got one on a trade with a Bully like over a month ago, and still haven’t changed it (granted I don’t use that yoyo nonstop, but quite a bit) - still going strong. Just wish I had discovered them before he stopped making them. _sniff_ ---

more or less no string lasts a great amount longer. I’ve tried different strings and I’ve found that you would be hard- pressed to find a string that will last a great deal longer than another… depends on your play, i guess. ( although i have heard of this thing called angel hair string… supposed to last a while.) 8) ---

I have found Angel Hair to last me the longest (3.5 weeks) but it is prone to string burns and is stiff until it is broken in. ---

I’m cheap when it comes to strings. I decided to play with a YYJ 50/50 string until it broke, just to see how long it took. Playing at least 2+ hours a day, it took 7 days exactly to break. I’ve heard of people changing their highlights after 30 minutes, and I’m sorry, you’re wasting your money. I’ve never had one break. I just play with it until the tension becomes almost unplayable. I usually end up changing them after about 5-7 days. ---

I had angel hair string and really did not like it. It was super slick so it was difficult to bind with. It was advertised as a string that is good for slack tricks but it needs to bind properly first. Thats just on man’s opinion though I am sure there is someone out there that loves it. ??? ---

I play for around an hour a day, and my strings last up to 3 weeks in a dark magic. However, I got my M1 around the 3rd week of october, play it for an hour a day, and it’s still in there! Same string. I dunno why… and it’s still perfectly godly. Just lost a bit of tension, but it looks the same… except just a little dirtier. Maybe I should wash it. ---
