Yea, some stirngs have bad sstring tension. Strings like G-string and Gatorfloss have great string tension and oyu wont have to adjust it every throw, more like every 10. If you do stuff like wrist whips the more misses the more the string tightens so the only tip i can give you is dont miss stuff so much.
