I love replacing strings because the felling of a new string is amazing. It’s not frizzy and has little friction, and it just fells awesome. Too bad it only lasts for a very short amount of time…
Agreed. It also makes the yoyo play much better IMO. When strings get ratty and things quit working the way they should, throwing on a new string makes a huge difference.
Funny, I like the feeling of a string right /after/ it’s new. That feeling lasts longer, too!
I used to be obsessed with that new string feeling. Changed strings like every hour. I’m kinda over it now, though I play much better on a fresh string.
No, I find string plays and feels better after an hour of play. If you’re tossing string out after 30mins, I’ll be happy to take them off your hands for you
I like the feel of a new string, but most of my yoyos have a rather well broken in string on them.
I don’t know. Fresh 100% poly kinda rubs me kinda rough. After it’s played for a while, it feels pretty good. I do try to make sure I’m not playing the string too long, but when I swap them out they are well worn. I do tend to rotate yoyos pretty often though, so I’m still getting at least 2 hours of play out a string, but it make take me a week or longer to get those 2 hours. I think I’m probably getting more time than that.
I hate the feeling of new string. I like my string to be smooth and frictionless.
I like rough string. IDK, I’m weird.
same here. The string I make keeps the individual ridges for a very long time and as a very long life. Ill bring you some on Sunday. Do you have any color requests? I just started making a rainbow twisted string and it looks pretty awesome.
I like the string as soon as it is broken in, the feeling when it’s new is weird and I get sting burn easier with it.
I love the feeling of new string but I’ll wait till it’s absolutely dead before I switch it. Most of the time it’s when the tension won’t hold well anymore and just throwing the YoYo twists it to junk.
I really like the feeling of a brand new string. I will usually use the string until it won’t hold tension anymore, but the feeling of a brand new string is the best.
I love new string, but I try to milk as much life out of them as possible.
Lol, sounds a lot like my strings.
I like string a little broken in. I find brand new sting doesnt hold tension as well as it does after like an hour of play. Plus after a while it gets all soft and comfortable The only thing i really really love new string for is the look. If i have a new yoyo ill keep the strings on it cuz i like looking at it
I like rough string. IDK, I’m weird.
Yep, me too.
if theres new car smell theres new string feeling lol
if theres new car smell theres new string feeling lol
Nice lol
I am still experimenting with different types to find my perfect string, but BY FAR the best string I have tried to date is the Mondo Hybrids, they are thin which I like and also feel more “solid” while at the same time flexible, sounds weird but I like them, they play for a really long time too…
I don’t have the money for fancy strings. I use YYE strings, and they suit me fine.
