Right!! I play what I thought was longer (48” or 122 cm) but I see some videos and wonder how they get that many wraps!! It’s gotta be super long.

I’ve been enjoying ~120cm string recently. I really like the slower pace and how stuff feels less cramped during tech tricks with it.

I haven’t measured in a while but I tend to cut it a few inches above my belly button. I like a little extra string for tech stuff.

I’ve never measured. A little higher than my elbow while the yoyo is resting on the floor. :sweat_smile:

Step 1: String on yoyo
Step 2: Stretch string
Step 3: Pinch string 2-3 inches above belly button
Step 4: Tie knot

Exactly that long

I like lots of lengths for 1a, very short to very long. Just depends on my mood, the Yoyo, and how I feel like playing.

I like short strings because when i ding my yoyos i start staring at them looking at the ding and i never stop looking at it and its annoying!!!

I’m using longer string than I used to due to tech tricks, but still < 44". Who knows, maybe it’ll keep getting longer the more I advance, but right now that feels cumbersome and hard to control (kinda like swimming in string).
