So I use the Twisted Stringz Grey Matter. It’s a great string; very whippy and smooth and has an unique feel that makes you question it but proves you that it’s better than you think in the end. However, the string is very slippy. Although that is good in some areas, I find that it tends to loosen quite easily and has the risk of slipping off your finger during whips and slacks. I would rather wish to not peel the panic of risking a whip that I love and finding out mid trick that the string slipped off and my yoyo is about to hit the concrete. Again. So I ask, does anyone have any tips or tricks that would help keep the string tight on my finger no matter what?
