So i bought a 10 pack of Cumulous Foam. I think i can comfortably say it is my favorite string to date. I had to buy more because i think every one of my throws will be wearing this stuff soon. I also ordered some of the Drakken. Also a great string, but im not sure it fits my style of play like the CF does. ---

Awesome, glad to hear it. I’ll have to snag some soon too. I’m actually still playing the one from when I wrote this review. Still plays awesome, doesn’t feel soggy at all. ---

Dddoooppeee - glad to hear it y’all. Cumulus Foam is def a crowd favorite. Draken is def not for everyone but if you can get use to it, it’ll really suit you well for punctual technical play and/or competition play. It remains very very playable when hands get the stage sweats :+1:t6: ---

I’m liking this but man it is _rooooough_ on the fingers, maybe the roughest non-poly string I’ve ever seen! It plays a lot like nylon without all of the nylon slippiness. Maybe that’s why @smileypants707 likes it so much. > [@smileypants707](#): > > Are soft on the fingers 🤪 uuhhhhhh I … disagree with this part? ---

> [@codinghorror](#): > > I’m liking this but man it is _rooooough_ on the fingers Give them a little time to break in. I haven’t tried them yet, but If they’re anything like the OG markmont strings they start pretty rough and break-in nicely after a few hours of play. ---

Correct, I have what’s known as “real man’s hands”. KIDDING. I’m kidding. That’s just a pejorative statement you’d hear some random Texan make. But I _do_ have calloused carpenter hands that are use to working. Honestly, these cumulus foam strings feel similar to standard polyester strings to me. Which are usually on the rougher side anyway. Compared to nylon that is. ---

It’s definitely ‘100% poly’. Not sure who started the notion that DRAGON was ever nylon but that’s falseeeeeee false fale. Also yes - there is a break-in period for certain. No different then say some good selvedge jeans that last over a year, they take break in time. And if DRAGON, Draken, Cumulus Foam are not your jam, Amy and Rebby are noticeably softer. ‘65’ which I just need to add to the website is also on the softer side as well. Also will soften up after first machine-wash. \*insert black thumbs up ---

LOL It’ll be a good minute before I start providing details on the next release - BUT I WILL however have some new MC colors going up on the shop in the next few weeks. I’m going to definitely try to get around to getting 65 up on the shop this week. No promises because ‘life happens’ lol, but def a priority.
