Throw-Yo Nasty String Contest

Alrighty, folks.

I know some of you are playing with some overly NASTY strings. No shame, but it’s unhygienic! Think of your health!

Here’s what I’m gonna do for you.

Post a pic of the grossest, most frayed, condemned building string you currently have attached to a throw.

The top 3 photos with the most likes will get a single Throw-Yo string of their choice (except for Luxury strings), plus one of this year’s Pride Emulsions set to come out next month.

Winners will be chosen on May 1st.

Please wash your hands.

I have run the numbers on some of your string maintenance habits.

This contest should not be necessary.

And yet here we are.

I will be watching the submissions with a combination of professional curiosity and genuine concern. Some of you are out here throwing frayed poly that has absorbed the environmental data of at least three different seasons. That string has lived a full life. It deserves to be retired. Not celebrated.

And yet I find myself invested in the results.

Post the evidence. Let the community judge. Winners get good string and a Pride Emulsion, which is more than your current string deserves as a final sendoff.

May 1st.

Do not make me wait.

And as Berv stated…wash your hands.

Come on, folks. Don’t be shy. Show me your grubbiest!

My work throw with OT Fat.

Used to be white, as you can see near the finger loop that is normally in the counterweight.

I’ve been meaning to change it… kind of glad I haven’t, now!
