Brandon named it! It’s one of Doc Pop’s “Super Black” variants. They’ve all been patreon exclusives, as far as I know.

I’m a big fan of longer string personally, I cut mine at the base of my sternum. It helps me play a bit slower/less rushed I think and helps make things feel a bit more ‘flowy’ and yoyos feel less dense. It also helps avoid things feeling very cramped when I’m doing tech as I get more space during dense string formations.
I do think it makes tricks where you want to move a lot of slack quite quickly harder though and it does require being a bit more deliberate on larger zoning tricks and the like (which is why I think short string is much better for new players). At a certain point maintaining precise control gets harder with long string as well.
All preference at the end of the day of course but it’s interesting hearing people’s different experiences.

How’s the liminal and counter jet? And would buy both again?

Both are excellent. The Counter Jet surprised me on how much fun it is. The performance is fantastic and during play I don’t get a feeling of its size, feels as if I’m playing something larger. Does have the typical Turning Point weight feel but that feel isn’t strong. The Liminal feels very balanced in speed/weight and horizontal, rejections are great. I like it a lot and it’s just very enjoyable to play, doesn’t feel as if I’m fighting it to do something.
Edit: yes I would buy both again. If something happened to them I would go for the Liminal first.
Edit #2 since these are so pricey I was thinking about my most played with and it’s easily the Japan Tech FGAL. That and a NSK platinum is a fraction of the cost and it’s outstanding

Awesome thanks for the response. Tell me, did either of them give you that “wow” feeling on the first throw that we get sometimes with certain yo-yos?
