What type of string do most of you use?
For my wooden responsives I normally use the yoyoexpert red and black cotton, but I’m thinking of buying white. Is the white the virtually the same?
For my metal/plastic responsives I use ordinary yoyoexpert contest string. I’m reluctant to use cotton as I find I throw these YoYos harder and am affraid of breakages.
Can anyone recommend some other string to try out for responsives? Gonna place an order soon and I’m open to suggestions.

If you haven’t played any in awhile you should sample some Slick 6 on your plastics and metals. Cotton soft feel and response and Poly whip and tension.

Whatever feels good.
I’ve thrown a little of everything with a little of everything, and it comes down to what you think feels best.
Wood and cotton generally pair best to me - I prefer type 10 by a mile. I really miss the stuff I used to twist myself, but YYE type 10 is solid. I’m pretty sure the color cotton is type 8 or 9, which is a pretty subtle difference.
I like slick 8, but have found slick 6 to be a little too slippy when it breaks in on wood.
Nothing wrong with poly if that’s your jam. I find the “two-sidedness” of poly to be a little more apparent with some axles, but I’m mostly using yellow YYE poly with my 650b’s and it’s super consistent. 🙂

I used to use MFD vines or kitty in my fixies, but just got some YYE type 10 cotton and am using that instead. I like the feel of cotton on wood, but I find that I need to wax the string to get the same response as poly.
Edit - OT: For anything else I use Zipline for throws with normal response and Plutonium for yoyos with loose binds. I have a couple throws strung up with Zipline’s nylon blend strings as well, but I prefer all-poly for the most part. I have a few more types of string, but the ones mentioned are my current go-to.

Thanks for everyone’s input! I think I’ll try some slick 6 and type 10. I’ve only got about a few left of my old 100 count cotton left so it’ll be interesting to compare the three.
Poly just doesn’t seem right on a wooden axle, a bit slippy for my tastes. However, when I get a new legend wing I can normally use a poly on there until the response breaks in.
