I like the Zebra Twists, never had an issue with them.

Winner's choice. Done the other custom bowstrings and had nothing but bad luck.  :dunno: Went back to Winner's choice and have had no problems.

Ive only used Winnerschoice but Vaportrail supposedly makes good strings.  I would be careful with after market unproven strings unless u can afford the chance.  Better off spending a few extra $$$ with great warranty.

I just had the Stone mountain strings put on my Hoyt.  Seems to be shooting alot better than when it was new.  They were pretty spendy though.  Better last longer than the stock strings, they sucked!

I have had very good luck with Vapor Trail strings and many that I shoot with use winner's choice.  There are several makers on the market now that understand the advantage of pre-stretching their strings to elminate stretch and twist.

Stone Mt.,Vapor Trail and WC all make good strings..one thing to look at is what they are made with BCY 8125 or 452X
most use 8125 cuz it is softer and will last longer but it can and will stretch some. 452X will not stretch but it will fuzz faster
so you must wax your strings. we use all BCY 452X. Take care of your strings, We use Scorpion Venom.

This odor-free polymeric-based fluid puts more than a little sting in your string! Specifically formulated utilizing the latest innovative polymeric compounds, this product enhances string life and performance. Ideal for both re-curve and compound bow strings. Even as the temperatures drop, it maintains its supple characteristics and is non-brittle. 100% odor-free
I clean my strings about every 3 months then wax....all that dust and dirt will stick to the wax on your string

There is more to pre stretching strings to stop the twisting. that's way not all custom strings are the same.
