so I recently bought a pair of loop900’s and was wondering what type of string to use. I heard that 100% poly string can melt if you use it with looping yoyos due to high friction. I was just going to go with a 100 pack of slick-6 string, and recommendations and comments are greatly appreciated.

Try a small count of Slick6 and Type6 100% poly and see what you like best.

You don’t need to worry about string type with ball bearing loopers. The issue with string melting/burning is in regards to fixed axle yoyos.
