100% Polyester is 100% fine, flails in the air like a flying nyan cat. 50/50 Cotton/Poly is 100% fine, flails in the air like a flying nyan cat. 100% Cotton is 100% fine, flails in the air like a nyan cat. What you need sir, is skill. Practice. ---

If you make your own string, weave a bit of plastic into it. You’ll get terrible string tension, but it holds the loop so big you can drive a truck through that loop. Well, not really, but you get the idea. ---

> [@Batryn](#): > > If you make your own string, weave a bit of plastic into it. You’ll get terrible string tension, but it holds the loop so big you can drive a truck through that loop. Well, not really, but you get the idea. Really long string? XD Anyways, Actually I was using yoyo gstrings for a while until I found this bundle of old poly strings. I don’t even know where exactly they are from. They whip great, somehow, so some regular polyester strings are often really good at whips/slacks. And, as others have said, try making your own string. ---

You might want to try kitty strings. They seem to be rather good. ---

I’ve heard some pretty great things about graou string. but it’s $1.50 a string. People say they last amazingly long though.
