I was also interested in finding this out because I wanted to pick up some new ones. Currently I’m using 100% Poly YYE strings. ---

Lol Icthus. I use a lot of strings. Hamstring, Toxics, Angel Whips (I believe thats what they are called, made by Chris S), Twisted Stringz, and a lot of my own strings, Big Yoyo Strings! I sell them. Currently testing a new formula. ---

At first I toyed around with all the aftermarket vendors and all that…but in the end, I always just liked the boring old YYE polyester string. I like the length, feel, and price. Pick up a 50 or a 100 pack in a few different colors for 30 bucks and you’re all set for years. ---

I mostly use YYE 100% poly. I also make my own string. I’ve tried G-string and Yoyo String Lab, and while they’re great, for the price, YYE string beats them. My palms sweat a lot while yoyoing so all strings last the same amount of time for me. I change them not because they fray, but because they are dirty. And I’m also a clean freak when it comes to my string, so I burn through string. I tried a Toxic String once, and they’re great. Best string I’ve tried that’s on the market. If you haven’t tried some, buy a 10 pack and you will love it. ---

I use a lot of different strings and test out different ones. I use YYE poly just for bulk string, Yoyo G-String, Toxic Strings (regular and dragon), Yoyo String Lab type X, Twisted Strings type A and X, 50/50 for looping, and I’ve tried a Hamstring. Out of all of them my favorite would probably be the Toxic Strings, String Lab, and I really liked the Hamstring but they’re hard to find. ---

> [@Newbies\_United](#): > > I mostly use YYE 100% poly. I also make my own string. I’ve tried the toxic string but they are sort of slippery somehow… I really like YoYoNation string, coz they are good for binding! and not bad for fast-paced tricks as well. Also I liked sOMEThING string which is attached to the yoyo when I first got one, but only tried it once. Have just ordered a bunch and see how it really is. 😃 btw WHY PPL NO HOW TOMAKE STRINGS?? I tried but it was soooooo hard O.o ---

Twisted Stringz all the way. I like the Type D, it’s a little stiffer and thicker than YYE poly and just feels right to me. ---

Toxic bg strings. They last, maintain tension well and although thick play like regular thickness. Great for slacks and whips. I also use twisted pPoly and I like string lab type 2 and x. Kitty string is good but doesn’t last that long. Buy quality string and you tend to get more use out of it. ---
