String Comparison 1

Picture:

(Left-to-right): Buddha Poly, Cloud String, Kitty Fat, Rad Strings Normal, YoYoExpert Poly

This is officially my first comparison review. I am sorry that the picture quality is poor, but I did not have enough time to really focus on a good one.

Size:

I will first compare the sizes of all of these strings based off of the picture and feel when you are throwing them.

From thinnest to thickest, I would say Cloud String, Rad String Normal, Buddha Poly, Kitty Fat, and then YoYoExpert Poly.

The YYE Poly is surprisingly thicker than the other strings I have here. Kitty Fat is the next thickest followed closely by the Buddha Poly strings. The Rad Strings Normal is significantly narrower than all but the Cloud Strings, which are extremely thin.

Feel:

Rad String Normal feel almost soft before they are thrown. YoYoExpert Poly has more of a rougher feel pre-throw. Then, Kitty Fat and Buddha Poly are the in-between strings. They are really neither soft or rough. Cloud Strings are a completely different feel all-together. They are wound really tight and are thin and are also in-between rough and soft, but the other characteristics give it a unique feel that can not really be described in words.

Time:

By far, the string that lasts the longest of all of these are the Cloud Strings. They have been known to last for up to two months before eventually wearing out. In second, but far behind the Cloud Strings, are probably Buddha Poly or Kitty Fat, which both can last a little over a week. Rad Strings Normal last about a week on the dot before expiring and YoYoExpert Poly lasts anywhere from 3-5 days before I can not stand to use it anymore. These are all based off of constant play.

Preference:

I have put these strings in order from favorite-to-least favorite:

1 - Buddha Poly: I really like the feel of the Buddha Poly strings, how long they last, and the fact that they are pre-cut and fit my size perfectly (after I adjusted to them).

2 - Kitty Fat: These are right up there next Buddha Poly as my favorite string. These strings are always good and always have been. I like these for the same reasons as Buddha Poly, but now that I have adjusted to those, I have to trim these, which puts them into second place, but barely.

3 - Cloud String: These strings are overall incredible. The only problem I have with them is how thin they are and how they always keep stretching. I prefer a thicker string specifically for competitions and this is what I am practicing for at the time.

4 - Rad Strings Normal: These Normal strings are also really thin and they do not have that long-lasting and unique traits with them. However, they are really good strings, in my opinion, just not quite up to par with the other three.

5 - YoYoExpert Poly: In short, I really do not like these strings at all anymore. They are rough on the fingers and do not last long at all.

Of course, to others, this is going to be different, but these are all based off of my own opinion.
