I have been looking at kitty nylon and original as well as venom and type X - I have ordered blueprint string and it was way to rough and after doing anything it would go all spaghetti on me! I also have ordered snake bite and the string was too skinny. Please help Thanks JYY ---

sOMEThING type-2 (allegedly coming to YYE any day now!) is my go-to. From YYSL, the Ammo is much better than Type-X if you are looking for a bit of thickness. Type-X is fluffy at first but stretches a bit and in the end is on the skinny side, too. Ammo is like thicker Type-X. ---

I use thin YYO string and I think it performs pretty well. Other than that, Kitty String regular. I wouldn’t bother buying anything else. ---

I generally keep stock of Kitty Fat and XL. Both keep good slacks and are soft and they keep tension decently well. Those are my requirements for string generally. ---

I’ve played the expert string if you are referring to this: > **[100 Count - 100% Polyester YoYoExpert String](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/100-count-100-polyester-yoyoexpert-string)** > > Good Yo-Yo string is essential if you want to get the most out of your yo-yo. Luckily we have come a far way from the basic cotton strings your grandfathers had.100% polyester is the choice of professionals everywhere and allows for completely smooth... It’s soft and plays nice. I liked it about as much as Kitty. Not quite as thick as kitty fat, but played well in my opinion.
