Epic Strings Magic Threads. Thats if you want to pay the blasted $1.80 a string… luckily i gotthem before the price tripled. I cant say their bad tho, they do everything you want it to. Much softer and much whippier than type X. Im a fan of type X but I definitely think saying its super soft and super great at whips is a stretch. ---

Really any string that’s not cotton. Kittystring will pretty much always be around. Cheap and reliable. Bulk. Long/Extra Long. Nylon- Smooth, Good Slacks, however very fast/whippy Poly- Smooth, Good Slacks, Easily Controlled Mix- Best of Both The difference between the 2 is small. Also note these are my opinions. ---

Ive never tried, but i’d guess that the whippys are better at whips, but much rougher. The magic threads are great with whips too, and are also really soft. Like SUPER soft. They probably don’t whip as well as the whip, but the softness is definetely a big bonus. ---

> [@Erik\_kerber](#): > > are the magic threads whipyer tan the whipy threads? im thinking of picking some up eventualy and I love slacks so im wondering which is better? Probably not as whippy as the whips. But they still are very whippy, way whippier than YYSL AMMO if you want a comparison. They aren’t quite as whippy as stuff like Toxic though. However, the Magic Threads are the softest strings I’ve ever played, and I’ve played some crazy soft strings… ---
