I bought a pair of loop 720s and was wondering what string I should use. All I have is some fat kitty and YYF string so far.

I _DEFINITELY_ do not recommend kitty fat on loopers. I can tell you that from personal experience :wink:

I use 50/50 cotton/poly. I like 100% cotton but it wears quickly. The cotton/poly blend feels a bit like cotton and lasts much longer.

Yes, cotton string has more friction so they come make it come back easier.
