Wait… Wrong forums! 🤣 @Charlie…you can go with some bulk strings like [Kitty Fats](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yo-yo-string/products/kitty-string-100-count-fat?variant=18871445060) or some [Sochis](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yo-yo-string/products/sochi-yoyo-string-100-count?variant=29433265881162). If you do go with bulk I’d really recommend buying 100 of them if you can. Depending on how much I’m practicing…I can go through 1 bulk string every day or 2. I’d highly recommend considering some higher quality strings though. They are more expensive per string…but a lot of them will play better and last MUCH longer than bulk strings. I’ve got some strings I’ve put many many hours on that are still going strong. Zipline Strings is a popular choice…and I LOVE Aeritics (you’ll have to google search these as YYE does not carry these brands). My current favorite strings though are [Markmont Strings](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/markmont-formula-yoyo-strings?variant=29059202318410). These strings can last months! And when they start to get dirty, you can just throw them in the washer (put them in a pants pocket) and they’ll come back to life! There are a TON of choices to choose from though…and I’ve only tried a couple and I’m not sure what your preferences are when it comes to strings. ---

have 100 kitty fats always been $25+ here on yoyoexpert? Seems pricey to me and I don’t remember paying that much. ---

Kitty Strings used to be cheaper, it’s true.
