I’m looking for string that’s thick, keeps its tension well, and binds tightly. Any recommendations? What string do you use? Thanks! ---

Should I use thick string for my yomega fireball? For some odd reason it will not return to my hand. I had to do a slipknot around the plastic axel just to get it to return after tossing it down and doing a sleeper. ---

> [@Songwind](#): > > I recently tried out Kitty Fat and YYSL Ammo. Both are nice, but the Ammo pushes into luxurious. Ammo is the superior string IMO. From my experience it lasts a lot longer, is softer and holds tension better. That being said, this is reflected in the increased price over Kitty. If you’ve got money to spare, then I’d definately recommend Ammo, but if not then Fat Kitty will do the job just fine. 🙂 ---

> [@Gambit](#): > > Ammo is the superior string IMO. From my experience it lasts a lot longer, is softer and holds tension better. That being said, this is reflected in the increased price over Kitty. This was my experience as well. In fact, once you factor in the greater longevity the Ammo compares very favorably from a “cost per hour of playing” perspective.
