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 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’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). ---
