Replacement strings
The right string helps you improve
Choosing a string matters more than you might think. High-quality strings made for competition help you learn tricks faster and prevent accidents caused by broken strings. Yo-Yo Store REWIND carefully selects reliable strings that competitive players use too.
String basics
Start by choosing the thickness
First, choose the thickness that fits how you play.
-
Standard: for beginner models and all-around play
Example: Basic String -
Thick: for bind models and metal yo-yos, made for string tricks
Examples: Bind String Pro, C3 Pro String (Fat) -
Thin: for looping models
Example: Slim String (For Looping)
- Most strings today are made of synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon), which are durable and smooth. Old-fashioned 100% cotton string breaks easily, so we do not recommend it.
Quick reference

- This is a rough guide. Actual thickness varies slightly by color, lot and brand.
- How a string feels in use may differ depending on its characteristics.
- Thicker is not always better for string tricks, and thinner is not always better for looping. Choose the string that suits your yo-yo, your style and your own preference.
