Hello! Merry christmas eve! I am an intern at a youth theater, and my “boss” is the best guy ever! He came to my house and gave me a big platter of cupcakes for my family and also a little silver yoyo from pottery barn for me. It is imperial shaped. I took it out of the box and threw it. It came with really bad cotton string, but i decided to just play it with that. I looped with it for a little bit and it was reAaly good at looping! But after about 10 loops the string snappped and i was like “ok its probably just a bad string” so i put on a cotton string of my own. That one snapped too. Its not a big deal, seeing how this yoyo is probably 5 dollars or less, but do you think that there’s a way to have it not eat the strings? Have any of you ever seen this yoyo before? It doesnt have a bearing, btw. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/3/5/035bf7a2ea8e6ca78aaabfe210ae159432cd14e6.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/8/f/58fc779d4ba816e10ddfa63304766dc466923df2.jpeg) ---

poly should work on it given the axle is metal and not wood. Other then that rub denim on the inside of it. Rub it down good and hard. ---

try a poly string… The whole thing’s metal as far as I can tell, and there’s no starburst so it wont eat the poly string. ---
