There was a post on the YYN forum that had a string length guide for 2A. Pat Cuartero posted it. Any chance anyone has that info?

I don’t have the exact one, however I can write a longer guide about string length (and thickness) if people want it.

The short version is:  
longer string → loops more downward  
shorter string → loops more upward  
thicker string → works like narrowing the gap, also loops more downward  
thinner string → works like widening the gap, also loops more upward

Thanks @rizki_yoist. I remembered the long/short rule, didn’t remember the string thickness part. I think Pat actually had a chart with different string lengths for different scenarios. Though my memory may be playing tricks on me…
