Rain City Skills Sorry Grade mystery boxes came in, though I’m not sure all of these are actually Sorry Grade.

Deluge, Showpony, Ducc v1, Punk, Author sequel, Ouroboros, Guitarist, Sk8R, Pop Art + some books, toys, and other knick-knacks. I ordered 3 of the $85 mystery boxes, and I’m very happy with what I received! Plus, the team at RCS was a pleasure to talk with.

Crazy value out of the 3 boxes! Thank you to the RCS team for the awesome Saturday surprise.

@the_general flawless and exceeds expectations, per usual.

Also what string do you guys put on your throws Ernie? It’s so soft and light yet holds up so well

My Legato started with the string it came with, YYE bulk poly normal I think (is that right, @the_general ?), but in my hands that was a little thin/slippy so I’m going to go to one step fatter to Yoyogarden, July or similar “normal” which is my usual. If that ends up slippy, then I move on to something labeled fat, though Kitty FC fat seems to be about the same as a lot of other “normal” weight strings once it breaks in.

I asked about what string they come with when I got the Mini Star (recent run) from him because I really liked the string and that’s what he told me. My memory is that it was great on the Mini Star. It’s not way off on the Legato just a tiny bit too thin for me. Just happened to pick it up this morning when I saw it sitting on the table with the string unwound. After throwing it around for a bit I realized that was my way of marking it as “needs a new string.”

Man I don’t know here it is next to kitty fat. Where are my string people? Does YYE have a fat string?

Kitty Fat isn’t really that fat is what I was saying (esp Kitty FC fat).

No you’re absolutely right, I guess it’s not very fat, which is good for me I don’t like real thick string personally. Even this kitty is too much for me and I’m dumb for buying it in bulk lmao

I felt the opposite way after getting a 100 pack of Kitty FC fat. It was too slippy in everything. A few months later I was reaching for it more often as gained more experience. Now it’s about the same thickness as my “go to” strings, which are all just bulk “normal” weight strings.

Yeah, the FC feels thinner to me, so you might like it. After listening to the Kill Your Yoyo Polo Garbkamol interview, I really wanted to try his string, but I think I have almost 500 strings now, so I think I’m good for a while. 😬

I’d be set for maybe a whole year or more if I had 500 strings hahahah. I have about 40 more to go from this bulk then I’m gonna actually do a little research to see what suits me best. I bought a 10 pack of MonkeyfingeR vines awhile back and I really liked those

When I first got my Cruiser, it had very slippy binds, and not even BadWolfeCo thick strings would help. I had to replace the pads, and then all my normal thickness strings produced nice, snappy binds. The lesson here, at least for me, is that before reaching for a thicker string, try replacing the pads first. I find that the pads have a much greater impact on bind feel than the string.

This is facts. Team flowable silicone all the way! You just get the best of everything with it I swear, and you don’t necessarily need a yo-yo brands product/compound, a clear tube from your local hardware store (forgot the brand that’s best I’ll look though) will do you just fine.

Update: Permatex is the brand I use if I don’t have any Monkey Snot! Also sorry about this convo, got a little off topic in the wrong thread lol
