I went for a large volume of Kitty (fat and normal), which can handle anything you want to throw at it. From there, I bought 10-packs of different strings here and there to try to discover which of the “boutique” strings I liked best.
What I’m saying is: don’t invest too heavily in specialized strings all at once. Try a few here, a few there. And in the meantime you can’t go wrong getting some Kitty in larger volume.

Some Lites would be good for what you want. They are soft, whippy, and keep their tension well. Check my BST or PM me.

Before I discovered this forum I bought 100 pack of Snakebite Polyester strings from Ebay. I liked them.
Then I found out about Fat Kitty nylon strings. Bought 100 of those. Now I have 80 polyester strings I will probably never use. The Fat Kitty helped my yoyoing get better instantly! I am sold on Nylon strings.
Take that with a grain of salt since I am a noob. :🙂

For me any polyester string works pretty good. It keeps tension for a while.

I have some YYSL Ammo and it plays good. Although it is kind of too bouncy for me, but the stuff is good.

Try standard toxic strings.
Or if you want a cheaper string you can get in bulk for cheap try Kitty Fat Nylon
