Just curious, do you know about the length you use? I make my strings about 58", which is just under 5’ (60") because I figured that’s more than enough for most people. But if there’s a market for strings even longer than that I might be able to figure something out. Funny thing about yoyo string is even just a few inches can make a big difference, and what looks like a crazy long string could be just a short person with a few extra inches. It seems really relative, from my experience.

Whatever the kitty fat length is, that’s what I’ve been using. I knew the inches years ago but it’s been a while. I find these strings are just a smidge too long, which is what I need.

Looks like they’re about 45", if I’ve found the correct thing. So that’s the threshold I’d suggest looking for. I think most string makers list the length somewhere in their “item description” area.

you know though something that’s 42" is alot different than something that’s 45"

Thanks big time for the tip. I don’t know why I didn’t think of trying that lol. I think it was mostly paranoia about possibly throwing my yoyo straight into the floor lol. Before tonight, i would have been lucky to be able to squeeze my hands together enough to land a triple or nothing. Now that I’ve tried a longer length I’m landing them pretty well, and now my boingy-boings and other tricks look supersized in comparison to how they flowed before lol.

Does any use Eagle strings, and is willing to talk about them? Could anyone tell me about the types fit, wing, beak?
Everybody ding’s the floor every once and a while. I ding it at least twice a day. Some guys could tell you about playing surface that are safe. I hate grass though, the humidity outside changes the string. I’ve pushed on through the years and it’s been worth it.

I could it be wrong, but it appears to me they’ve sheared their string length a bit. I was used to something that stretched longer than 50" which is what the length of plutonium is when stretched… 43-45 sounds kinda short…

I throw over a yoga mat, even though they’re thin it’s padding enough that if I hit it the yoyo doesn’t take any damage.

Very late pass - there’s 10 formulas that range in tactile touch a good amount from formula to formula. Def consider trying Copernicus and Cumulus Foam good sir.
