What thickness and where should I get 3a string

There is definitely a ton to know and share about strings. For better or worse, I have dialed down my own preference to the point that what I know is limited to 2 brands (or maybe just 1.5, since Zipline has introduced many new strings recently that I haven’t tried).

There are some brand focused topics with good info: https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/zipline-strings

@theendofcake has put a commendable amount of effort into writing string reviews: https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/cake-s-string-reviews/

Occasionally a poster who makes string will post about their process: https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/everything-i-know-about-silk-string-making-and-where-to-buy-cheap-and-high-quality-silk

Admittedly, I wouldn’t be able to surface most of this information without relying on memory of seeing them at the time. Some kind of “Just the Facts” topic would be useful.
