Trying bunches of string right now and Chaos 422 is one of them. Thrown for two hours so far.

-Durability: 10 Looks like its going to last at least 4 hours of play maybe much more  
-Softness 1:feels like a wire, harsh on hands (burn), grainy, thin  
-Long spin times, no string bunching, can play it real fast  
-Difficult to spin start and needs extra effort to bind.  
-suicide loops seem relatively small  
-String tension 4 or 5

I would avoid Chaos if I were you. Frank, the man who owns the company, has scammed me twice now out of a total of $68.00. I’ve spent months trying to contact him and have heard nothing. I opened up a PayPal claim against him to find that he’d drained his account completely and went dark. Not a good way to run a business.

Kitty normal is freaking fantastic in my opinion.

Kitty normal is my go-to string. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done and done well. I also keep some Kitty slim and fat around for those particularly picky yoyos that are a bit too snappy or a bit slippy.
