100% offset yoyo competition string its 1.3 meters long which is 130 centimeters long and it is very thick and it holds tension very well, Brandon Vu made a whole video on how he achieved the perfect competitive yoyo string. See it here: https://youtu.be/wrxxo50S200?si=Q63NngFhRbZLXO5O

I like my string just a biiit past my belly button, so about 130cm. string has (almost) always been too short for me.

Edit: Offset yoyo string looks nice… I only wish it came in pink. (I’m basically colorblind, pink is incredibly visible for me)

In the background of the Outlier 5 unboxing, Brandon has a stack of Blueprint boxes. I love my Blueprints, about 120cm and they do multicolour packs with pink.
When I need really long string I just make it myself.
Now that I’ve been getting into Tech-ier tricks, I’ve been thinking of switching to longer string… trouble is, where do I find string longer than 140cm? lol.
I should learn how to make string… tips?
My style tech is more early - mid 2000’s, I think it’s a bit easier with a longer string.
You don’t need a longer string just because you’re tall.

Iirc Sochi normal, fat, Alphaline and OT Fat are all about 130cm. Sochi Phoenix was about 140cm.
Kitty string fat is a bit shorter, maybe 120-125cm or so.

Wait what? Is that true? That string is basically 3cm shorter than the whole me lmao, how is it possible to play with something like that?
I noticed when string is too long the control go a bit away, it is harder to manouvre the yoyo and follow the momentum

This is insane, performing a yuuky slack you can basically cause a tornado with that lenght of string

Way out of my league, but this
I like the length for 5A more than 1A, has no relation to my height, just fun. Currently running 155-160cm cottons on my fixies too

what length do you cut yours?
I go just below my shoulder
My one is quite short, I do it just a tiny bit higher than my belly button, I would say probably around 110/120 but sometimes I cut it from under my belly button which is quite short, I like it because it give me lot of control and slacks are easy to form and do not go all over the place

I’ve been cutting my string just a bit above my belly button for at least 10 years! Of course, me being 15, the length changes often, haha. I just measured my strings to be about 125/130cm, which is plenty to work with; I’m also very comfortable using it, being 191cm.
This is the first time I’ve really analyzed my string length… I think I’d be most comfortable with about 135cm.
