What string do you guys use for looping? Is kitty tall “normal” thickness? Thanks in advance.

My fave was Fist Salud Loop Lite but I can’t find it any more. I’m using Sochi Loop string now. It’s not as good but it gets the job done.

For non-dedicated looping string, I prefer OTS Slim.

I’ve never used Kitty Tall so I can’t answer if it’s the same as Normal, but I wouldn’t use a Tall string because it’s pretty wasteful to cut off half of it.

for looping use these two types of thickness for narrow gapped yoyos like SLIM and NORMAL type

From my understanding Kitty normal is the same as long Kitty normal except one is longer.

Been trying to find a good looping string that is readily available  
So far there are 2 commercially available looping string made for looping that I know of. 1 sochi looping string, and 2. Project 44 Mugen looping string.

The project 44 string is good for thin gapped looping yoyo’s like the blitz ball.

If the yoyo has a bigger gap I use the normal thickness project 44 string from last gen. This version of p44 is old stock so I am looking forward to what other people use now.

I use kitty normal or kitty normal first class for most of my looping yoyos.

Also, @TryCatchThrow I think they just restocked here: [LOOP STRING Lite 50QTY(50本) | FIST SALUD STORE](https://fistsalud.theshop.jp/items/59981846)
