I’m almost out of string and the string I use now isn’t as good as other brands I’ve heard of Does anybody have any preferences for good string brands? ---

If your looking for quality strings on the cheaper side get JAMS, they are just as good as kitty, if not better, and are cheaper! You can gt a 100 pack for $11ish. Check out their facebook page in the link below in my signature… If your looking for the expensive super high quality strings, get YYSL AMMO or toxic strings ---

I would recommend YYSL Type X and Ammo both have a nice feel, Ammo is a little thicker for better whips and slack and both last forever! I would also recommend Toxic BG1s, Snakes and Dragons ---

What brand are you using now and what d you like or dislike about it? I use YYE 100% poly for my plastics, YYE Slick 6 for my loopers, and YYE 100% Cotton Type 10 for my wood yoyos, Twisted Strings Trixta and YYSL Type X for nearly everything else. I’m also willing to try darn near anything. ---

I like any string that doesn’t get too much tension on it and is kinda grippy ---
