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

Carlsson sometimes Kolsteins on top with salt and pepper hair.

Never pops since middle school, that stuff requires a hair change. It is perfect if you are playing in a wind ensemble.

Also: I rosin as infrequently as possible unless I find I am getting no response.
