Title: Mathews DXT string trouble ---any suggestions?
Post by: Weehunt66 on July 19, 2012, 06:59:25 PM: I have a 2008 Mathews DXT.. I keep wearing out the string where it travels through the roller. I'm using a Winners Choice string. The rollers spin freely.

Any Suggestions?

I would take everyone advice and make sure they are not burred. You might want to look and make sure the cables are running in the roller and pulling off to one side.

Same thing happened with mine on my winners choice and zebra twist
