Set of 6 yo-yo strings, 50% Polyester and 50% cotton

Item sold in a set of 6 strings.

Set of 6 strings:

Here, we use an alloy of different fibers. Thus, 50% of these fibers are cotton and 50% are polyester. The cotton gives a good grip and allows the string to grip on your yo-yo. Polyester adds strength to the string.

The type of string corresponds to the number of fibers that make up the yo-yo string. Thus, type 6 corresponds to relatively thin strings which will be adapted to make tricks on the string because the string will be able to cross and re-cross taking up less space, thus avoiding "hiccups". This is primarily a matter of taste, but they are used a lot for the 1A style of play. Thicker strings (type 8 for example) are sometimes used for the 2A playstyle (where we do a lot of loops), as the strings will grip more.

Henrys rubber ring, included in the bag:

In this bag you will find a small rubber ring which is compatible with all Henrys yo-yos. It is a spare part which is positioned at the level of the axis, as in the photo below. The yo-yo in the photo is only to illustrate the positioning of the ring, the yo-yo is not supplied with this bag of string :-).

NetJuggler tips:

Which string to choose?

Yo-yo strings are available in polyester or cotton.

Polyester fibers are not natural, they are rather stiff. They are therefore much more robust than cotton fiber strings.

Cotton yo-yo strings are more fragile, they will last less time but they are softer and allow a better feeling of the yo-yo.

Change a yo-yo string:

• 1 - Take the end of the string where there is no loop.
• 2 - Untwist the string to create a loop.
• 3 - The loop must be large enough to pass around the yo-yo.
• 4 - Pass one side of the yo-yo through the loop.
• 5 - Keep pressure on the string otherwise it will do weird things.
• 6 - Put the string back on by turning it between the fingers on itself in one direction then in the other, in order to find a homogeneous twist.

Adjust the length of the string:

When your yo-yo is on the ground, the string should reach your belly button. Tie a knot so that you have a loop at the end of the string once you have the correct length of string and cut off the excess.
