I use type 6 100poly highlights.  I like them alot.

I might try some other strings but they work for me right now.

I make my own, not a real fan of 50/50 of cotton. Polly and nylon is what i make it out of.

same with me, I use 2 strands of transluscent nylon from walmart in my strings and slacks and suicides are great. It also feels smoother on the string. It is much better than anything i have used and hols tension so good, hardly have to adjust it.

Yoyo Sam Cotton Strings!!!

I recommend trying some Polyester. Cotton runs out faster, and also slows down the bearing faster when on the string.

I got some highlights but don't like them that much b/c they run out fast. I use them for 2 hours and they are already bad!

Ok, I've been using the cotton strings I received with my yoyos for the past two days. Approx. 6-8 hours of play and I've noticed a big change in the play. Am I way overdue for a string change?

2) How often does each string type need to be replaced?

3) I have to adjust tension continuously. How does the tension hold up in the 50/50s and poly?

4) I've seen all crazy types of string. I want to get neon green and purple. What site has the best selection?

I apologize for all the questions, but questions are my favorite!

To answer your questions Lgoody, yes, with cotton strings you are way overdue.  Cotton strings stretch and get to tight of string tension. That makes them thinner and harder to bind. Also they get dirtier faster and snaggy. About an hour or two of solid play is about as long as cottons are good for imo.

As far as string tension on 50/50's and Poly's, they hold up much better, again cause they are made from better materials, and don't sucome to the streched out tension of cottons.

If you want the best selection for the price, go to yoyonation.com and check out their highlights section. Lots of colors when they are in stock and a great price. When your ready to shell out a bit more cash for a much better string, check out the G-Strings, or the Chaos strings. A bit more expensive but last longer and play better.

Hope that helped.

Also, i highly suggest trying Perfect Fit Strings. They are made to the players liking, but doesn't kill your wallet. It is a Nylon Polyester blend, so it lasts a long time. It is some great stuff.

I use cotton string I buy at my supermarket. Plays great but needs changing once every 2 days.

I think it's okay, gmuser, because this thread isn't the thread that really has an end. There will always be someone else on this forum who uses some type of string. And that's what this thread is about, seeing what strings people use.
