What is your favorite type of string to use for 1A and why? Mine is the medium sized polyester Kitty String. It starts out a little grippy but once they get broken in they play exceptionally well for a very long time without ever getting noticeably worn down like most standard polyester strings do. They also have a perfect balance of smoothness that keeps spin during long combos and reduce burn, yet a slight heaviness that helps a ton with slack tricks. šŸ˜ƒ ---

iā€™m still trying out different strings. i find most of them very good but i am not far enough along to notice the subtle differences in most of them. i do really like the toxic mark mount after they break in awhile. those do seem to have a noticeably different feel. i still have a few more i have not yet tried (epic). i tried some of the Ann Connely - wow, talk about a fat string. i like the multi color though. so far i like all of them; iā€™ll settle on one or two after more experience. gw ---

Love my Ammo, but itā€™s just too expensive for me šŸ˜› So I use either Blueprints or Kitty 1.5 nylon, they both feel about the same to me. ---

I like Yoyorecreation Normal Poly for everyday 1A. For more high end stringsā€¦ Toxic Snakes are great but I prefer yellow string so I like BG1 better even though I think the Snakes perform a bit better. Also I really liked the Yoyostringlab Ammo and Type X except they are too short so I stopped using them. Hint hintā€¦ For 4A I like the Candy Wire E type. For 5A I like Kitty String Nylon Fat but Iā€™m experimenting with their XXL poly as well. ---

I swear by Twisted Stringz Mojo these days. Itā€™s a little harsher than some string, but that doesnā€™t bother me. The main thing is that it holds tension exceptionally well, and it whips so easily that the other guys at my yoyo club call it ā€œcheater stringā€. ;D ---

slim poly slackline or slim kitty. either one runs nice and long though - which is what Iā€™m looking for more than anything else. ---
