From the community
“Rob, you seriously knocked it out of the park with this string.”
“Unique and unlike anything I’ve tried before, but in a good way.”
“I have to say these are amazing works of art. Ethers are amazing.”
“If it’s not Throw-Yo, it’s not a string.”
Quite possibly the best string I have ever used on a wooden fixed axle my friend. Thank you.
