Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to pick a thickness of a string and I can’t decide what thickness between fat or xl? Which one would you recommend?

So i believe the XL just means xtra long. So unless you are really tall or like really long string i wouldn’t pick that one. As for regular or fat i personally like regular just because some of my throws don’t work well with fat strings. Also, the new zipline x sochi alphaline strings are amazing imo.

agreed! While I prefer straight nylon, T-string is a nice compromise that plays really well.
