- ⚠️ Hey folks, for those of you who came here expecting a video detailing the end of my string journey, I apologize, it'll be the next one. The hard drive that contained that talking footage crashed 😢
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My string journey has ended, but I've never thought I'd be tempted so soon to consider something else! Ytex's Octo Twist is that string. I still can't believe how much spin I get with this eight-sided twisted string that basically acts like a round string with respect to its launch angle.
Just like my fav. string, Ytex Pro Tour Blue (PTB), this is a criminally underrated string. I'm actually going to try hybriding it with PTB because I think that setup might be even more up my alley.

Which ball machine are you using in the video? Thanks.
Hey, it’s called Slinger Ball Machine.
It’s probably one of the cheapest you can get. It’s not great, but it does the job.
There’s another one that called Titan One which I would choose over the Slinger if I were in the market for a ball machine. But I haven’t used it so take it for what it’s worth 🤷🏽♂️
