Picking one of these up soon and I’m curious as to what people who have played the large pad small bearing throws like this use? Slick 6? Thin poly?

I am using some slick 6, but type 10 cotton is also nice as it’s what I’m used to with 0a stuff.

All preference tho!

I actually like fat strings to make it more grabby!

Use any string that will make it play more like a wooden fixed axle yoyo, rather than a 650b.

I know what you’re trying to do, and I want to be mad about it because I love my 650b, but you have a very good point. I wish wooden bearing blanks were more readily available.
