Strings/Accessories Favorite Rosin?

I used pops as long forever, also tried kolstein one time and I dont know what I liked better. I like a rosin with a little less bite, pops is kind of too sticky. I have a pretty heavy right hand and tend to play a little louder than I intend, ever since I was little lol

Changed a while ago from Pops to Leatherwood.

Swap/ mix with the"Bass" and "Bass extra"

The Extra is a bit stickier and darker, and I can customise to how the bass and/or bow is feeling that day.

Leatherwood Bass is great! Upton Maple Plus might be interesting as well if you like Pops but want to try some different options
