Short writeup on Yoyorecreation fat string
It's competitive with kitting string as far as I can tell. I mentioned it to a few other people, but this stuff is a little bit more bouncy than kitty string. So much so that when I was learning underwater basket weaving, the first slack step was causing my string to bounce around the other string when I would release and pinch it to try to slide it into the yoyo's gap.
In terms of it's softness to roughness ratio, at least in terms of orange kitty fat to yellow yyr fat, it's a notch softer. However, it is certainly more wiry than yysl ammo.
In terms of tension, I couldn't notice any real difference from kitty string. It seems to take a few fractions of a second to start to spin up in slack maneuvers, just like kitty string.
It seems to last a tiny bit longer than kitty as well, at least to my tastes. This just might be due to the orange dye, or the extra bounce that it has. I tend to change my string when it loses its bounce and starts to look a bit dirty.
In terms of length, it's actually a tiny bit longer than Kitty.
Left to right is: yysl ammo blue/white, yysl ammo yellow. Kitty string fat orange, yyr fat. Sorry for the washed out colors, and the dust lol.
Also, strangely, it looks like my yysl ammo that I ordered direct is a little bit longer than the stuff in the tubes from yoyoexpert.

Huh, I have YYR regular string and it's actually shorter than the kitty I have. Odd. But I agree, it is really good string. I think my next YYR purchase will be Fat Nylon, to check it out.
