I know it’s subjective as to who is considered a big (popular and/or important to the development of yoyo play) yoyoer but I post this just because I noticed that Ann Connolly uses REALLY LONG string. Like HONKING string.
Are there any other mainstream yoyoers, present or past, that used far longer-than-normal string? I’m talking string that looks to go at least to the waistline, if not longer. It looked like Connolly had hers near thigh-level on some of her YYT tutorials
The Champ @Evan_Nagao goes longer
Ky Zizan for sure.
One of my favorite routines. So glad to see it live.
In my humble Opinion @Markmont uses quite a long string as well…. One of the greatest influences of modern play as well, imho 
Some young kids I see on instagram be using way too long of a string for being 5 feet tall haha
Ky and markmont.
65” length over here 
On a complete side note, the Miami Heat/Yoyo jersey is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen and im not even a Heat fan
It’s supposed to be the Save Deth Hoopz Jersey.
No idea if it ever released.
The site does not appear operational at this time.

My vote goes to Seth Peterson. Photos don’t clearly show it but at the 2008 MWR barbecue he attempted a trick with about a 15 foot string. As I recall it was a shoot the moon, but then my memory is a bit foggy on this.
Long string is not easy for.me i prefer medium length thin too i hate normal and thick
I think I see also Evan using a long string but i dont know how tall he is.
I see that a quite long string help with arms tricks and similar for horizontal it need to be wrapped around the finger
I just use kitty fat at full length. DISCLAIMER (not a big yoyoer)
I don’t even cut my string I usually tie a knot off around the .5 inch mark
