Yoyo Strings FAQ

Why Replace Yoyo String?

Buying replacement yoyo strings are essential during frequent yoyo playing.

 

  • Wear & Tear: Strings wear down over time. Fraying, tension loss, or discoloration are signs it’s time to switch.
  • Performance Boost: A fresh string improves trick performance and spin time.
  • Safety: A worn-out string can snap mid-trick. 

Pro Tip: We recommend regularly changing to a new yoyo string once you notice signs of fraying to prevent breakage.

Putting on a yoyo string correctly is essential. 

 

  • Two Ends: One end has a finger loop, the other wraps around the bearing.
  • For Unresponsive Yoyos: Keep the yoyo assembled, untwist the open end (not the one with the finger loop), then loop it over the bearing.

YoYoFactory Europe offers the best type of yoyo string for both responsive and unresponsive yoyos.

The yoyo string length depends on your height and personal preference. 

 

Do you know how to adjust yoyo string length to keep your yoyos performing at their best?

 

  • Standard Length: Let the yoyo touch the ground and cut the string slightly above your waist.
  • Customize Length: Adjust based on trick style and comfort.
  • Slip Knot: Learn how to tie a yoyo string knot that fits comfortably on your finger.

Yoyo String Tips

Cotton vs Polyester Yoyo String

Cotton strings were traditionally used for decades yet generally wear out faster and can affect the yoyo’s performance.

 

  • Cotton: Traditional, soft feel. Wears out quickly and absorbs moisture. Recommended for wooden yoyos.
  • Polyester: Durable, slick, and fray-resistant - ideal for all modern yoyos. Not recommended for wooden yoyos.

 

Do you know the best type of yoyo string? 

 

  • Polyester yoyo string is the top choice for players wanting speed, slack tricks, and consistency in modern yoyo play.
