My strings these days are as follows: bulk 100% poly from YYE or sometimes YYF Kitty Fat (closest thing I get to a “fancy” string) bulk YYE cotton So…what am I missing? Convince me that I should be buying fancy expensive string or string from small-time boutique maker… Search feature is your best friend. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/premium-strings-vs-cheaper-strings/312092)._
