So why does everyone always have yellow string are the other colors cursed or something. Should I expect Cthulhu to pop out of my pink or green string ??? ---

Ehhh I find yellow/green/orange string to be more standard colors for polyester. Maybe it’s because it’s cheaper or more common? ---

I’m a person that is kind of light OCD so I always try to use colors that show up against light colors. Very few premium strings are dark. ---

John Higby prefers yellow string. That’s enough for me. 🙂 I too prefer yellow or neon orange, my eyes are bad and its easier to see I guess. ---

It has to be for visibility and/or personal preference/style. I like the neon greens and yellows since they are much easier to see in most situations. Some people like to color-match their string to their yoyos. I don’t. Green or yellow! If I have a white, it’s probably a stock string. If I have a pink or red, it came from a friend.
