I use a Fury string because the material is very stable. Had bad luck with stock zebra strings in 452x as they stretched massively send my tune nock high.
Have purchased from JBK and Twisted X, both look great.

instead of deciding on who to make it, I would do some research on the different materials. You can choose from 452x, Fury, 8190f, BCY-X, etc.

I think that has more to do with the crap zebra strings then the 452x itself. There is a reason most pro shooters still use 452x even with these new materials out now. It's still the most stable material on the market. All materials require the be prestretched for a certain amount of time and mass produced strings, like zebra, rarely do it correctly. A string maker who correctly prepares the material with tight servings and attention to detail will make a great stable string whether it's 452x, fury, or BCY-x.

And to add to that you will have less chance of peep rotation issues if you choose a solid color for the string. always single color 452 x for me. :twocents:

Agreed on the zebra strings being garbage! Boggles my mind why a company would sell a thousand dollar bow with such poor quality threads.
As for 452x being the best or most stable material on the market, maybe I just haven't experienced a great set made by someone who knew what they were doing. My only experiences have been with Zebra, Octane, and Winner's Choice. I have not been impressed by any of them. It is interesting that some builders are only offering fury and others don't offer it.

Boy says 452 x will have no creep and is completely stable. But a crappy string is a crappy string regardless of material

Why would using just a solid color make any difference over using two colors? :dunno:
Seams each string is made with the same amount of strands of the same material whether it be of one color or multiple colors.

[/quote]the number of strands is the same. The difference would be that 2 color strings are essentially a loop of each color. If the loops aren't the exact same length the string won't settle very well. With a single color string it is one continuous loop.
Not to say that 2 color strings are all bad because they are made all the time,along with 3 color strings also.
