Hey all , hello. I just recently went down a rabbithole over yoyo string and wanted to get out of it . So here goes , what is some good string ? I have a few conditions .
The string must ship worldwide .
If it’s boutique string, it should last for at least 1 to
2 months per string .
If it’s bulk , it should be under $30 USD for 100 .
Softness isn’t too important, but would be nice.
All recommendations will be looked at , so if your
string doesn’t follow one of these criteria ; I’ll still
consider it.
personally i strongly second Kyle’s zipline recommendation. absolutely top tier string. with the exception of a couple throws that i prefer different feel/response for, i almost exclusively swear by their executive lites. unbelievably comfy, very soft, not too bouncy, and lasts for months
one thing i will add about zipline is that Jeremy, the owner, is an awesome human being and knows good customer service. if you email him (contact email is on their site) he is perfectly willing to talk through any preferences you have and will help get you the string in hand that suits you. that personal touch means a whole heap to me
Those criteria are pretty broad and/or subjective, which means you’re either not too picky (a good thing) or just don’t know it yet. Expect a wide variety of suggestions. My 2¢:
Boutique: Zipline ZS.Air (Exec Lites also good)
Bulk poly: Sochi Fat (I personally find it softer than Kitty 1st Class & it’s significantly cheaper)
