how long is your string?

I always play with exactly 4! I find it the sweet spot between long enough for like new gen ish tricks and just short enough to still spacewalk without it being weird. Like Alex said I've heard some crazy lengths 6,7, even 8

 

2 1/2 below base cup

 

I like 4- 4.5 fingers in length. It lets me have more room to do juggles and lighthouse/lunar flips.

 

three and a half string length

 

2 and a half or 3 is ideal for me, any more than that and it feels way too floaty.

 

3-4 fingers. 2 is way too short for me

 

4-5 finger is the best

 

I jam a 4-finger just for the way that I do my hand rolls, and so that I have a little bit more time to tap the tama in juggles(I hate juggles, though....).

 

I'm a hand percussionist and my fingers change shape all the time. A tape measure is a real measurement. My F3 sits at 16 -1/2"

 

Tight 4 loose 3

 

usually 3-4, but i've found myself playing 4 more than 3 lately. I do have a couple set ups that are 2 and they are still jammers!

 

I normally like 3-4 fingers. I strung one shorter then that and it was super weird to play it form me

 

Transitional 2

 

Comfy 3 finger.

 

3 fingers under bottom cup

 

Typically 3-4! I am also one to play a kendama exactly how it comes, so it varies from time to time!

 

Kinda funny how after this post I just started using the cup method. Although I found out two fingers for me is about 16 and 1/4

 

I remember it being a really tight 2 fingers, but it has stretched. I'm going to replace it soon and see if I can get the new string to sit between17 to 18"
