There is no best, but I must say Crocostrings are pretty darn good. Coming from not only me, but my testers too. ---

Jake Elliot’s/ Grand Rapid Yoyos Strings are amazing. They outplay almost everything out there IMO. I should have a review up this weekend about them. ---

I definitely favor Toxic Strings. For me they have the best durability. Only problem being they have a wide selection and finding what works for you and your yoyo setup can be a hassle. ---

I sell variety packs for $4.00 within those packs are two of every type of my string 12 strings in total. I made the variety packs so you wouldn’t have to spend a bunch of money to try different strings. ---

I think crocostrings are pretty amazing. I haven’t played many high end strings but to me crocostrings are like perfect and they last forever. ---

I make a couple of strings that are nylon/poly, which are soft and whippy. I also make some poly/rayon strings which are whippy, and keep tension amazingly. ---

Of what I’ve tried, Epic Strings magic threads. Soooooo soft yet they still have good whipping speed, great tension holding abilities, and they last a long time too. ---

Toxic hasn’t shut down AFAIK. You might be thinking of Twisted Stringz, which are going to be back in action due to a new partnership with Zeekio as far as I understand. My favourite small-run strings are probably Unknown Jackalopes… he replaced them with Annihilators which I have yet to try… those might end up being my new favourites. :wink: Epic Strings … gah, can’t remember the format name… are Epic when you want a bit more stiffness (vs. the Jackalopes)… there’s a place for both kinds of strings in my arsenal! ---

Thanks for the credit! But i have not replaced them, you will be happy to see that they will be making another appearance in my updated sales thread. ---
