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](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/](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](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”](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/just-the-facts-bearing-shapes) topic would be useful.
