Buddha Poly

About:

I can not say for sure the origin of these strings, but I can at least share what I think I know to be true. Johnnie DelValle, National Yoyo Master, World Champion, and owner of YoyoBestBuy.com started making bearings and called them "Buddha bearings." Shortly after, he started making and selling strings in bulk and called them "Buddha Poly." I believe this is how these strings came about, but I am not positive.

Packaging:

These strings are packaged in a tall brown box with the Buddha logo on it (pictured). I bought mine in a pack of 100 strings. They come tied together with string to keep them from getting all over the place, which is very handy for a pack of 100 strings. They are also pre-cut with a slip-knot at the end.

First Impression:

I was not impressed with my first throw because the pre-cut slip-knot made the strings shorter than what I was used to, but it did not take me a while to get used to them. These strings are now my favorite string that I have ever tried. They feel similar to Kitty Fat when first thrown, but this break in more easily. By this, I mean that the usual "rougher" feel that new strings have goes away and they become a nice soft string until they wear out, which takes a while. These strings also maintain a good string tension for longer than most other strings I have tried. Overall, my first impression was a good one.

Second Impression:

After one week of throwing Buddha Poly, I am still using the first strings. Being able to use these strings for a week or more is extremely important to me for a good string. Buddha Poly strings do just that. By this time, however, they are beginning to lose their tension faster and signs for wear start happening. The strings are still usable at this time, but a change is coming.

Third Impression:

I have been throwing Buddha Poly strings for about a month now and have gone through about five or six of them (using multiple at a time). They last about a week and a half with constant play, which is definitely respectable. After the week-and-a-half is up, they are definitely worn out and need to be changed.

After my first month with Buddha Poly strings, I know I will be coming back for more when I run out. These strings are great and I am so glad I went ahead and tried them out. JD has done a great job with these. The price for 100 strings is only $16 plus the YoyoBestBuy Free Shipping option putting these strings as the best in the market for that price range, in my opinion.

Conclusion:

With this review, I hope people who have not heard of the lesser-known Buddha strings will try some of these out. They are certainly worth the money. I highly recommend these strings to any players, especially those who have a low budget for buying string.

In conclusion, I would like to thank Johnnie Delvalle for helping me find the string I have been looking for. I will be a returning customer for sure.

Thanks for reading,
