Give us your Favorite String Material and why!

[Tetsuoh]

Just like my shaft material post, I looking for your guys votes on your favorite and least favorite String Materials as well!

Simply Tell us which materials you favor and dont favor, and why.

I'll tally the posts and we'll all get to see just how much any string is liked or despised!

Any dyneema based string.

D 97 (Dyna Flight 97) is what I like because of it's lack of stretch and small diameter.  It is also very strong.

D 97

I like FF and D97.  A bunch of us loaded up on some cheap D97 at the Classic.  I'll be making D97 strings for the next 15 years

D97. Mainly now because I have a bunch of it. Seriously because of the no stretch,less noise and less arm slap even at a low brace. I used B50 for years and some say it's traditional, in my eyes D97 is better and it's all man made anyway so no problem for me on that,if I am using man made stuff anyway why not use the better,by the way that is JMO.

Any FF type material but since I have a good supply of D75 on hand then that would happen to be my favorite. 

[Pat B]

I have always used B-50 I can get most of the stretch out of it and it has always worked well for me. Plus I'm cheap. 

[George Tsoukalas]

I would have listed why I liked B 50 but then I read Pat's post so I don't have to list. Jawge

[PEARL DRUMS]

That's a short list Jawgey Poo!

1. Cheap



I wont touch B50 with any length pole, I wont even tiller a bow with the stuff. I use any and all FF materials. 8 strands max up to 60#. There isn't a single negative, that includes price you tight wads!

[Buckeye Guy]

I was given what may end up being a life time supply of B50 so I may never know what my favorite is !

[Del the cat]

NOT B50!
I was bustin' my gut at the classic trying to get that Yew ELB to brace until Cody came to the rescue of a poor old man with a D97/ FF string.

I'm another b-50/Dacron HATER ...that stuff SUCKS 

Money has nothing to do with it IMO...ya end up using less strands in a FF string and getting more strings out of the same weight spool,and it pretty much evens out...night and day difference between FF/dyneema materials and the dacrons/b-50's....that junk doesn't even compare,and I have no idea why I used it before for awhile ..if we are strictly speaking string properties FF strings are a hands down winner..and that's a fact jack..and a big period end of discussion

Linen is nice stuff, takes wax well and doesn't slip like modern materials.

I do like a nice linen string, and with modern materials, FF. Havnt tried D97. It that and FF essentially the same thing?  Can't stand trying to get bows with any amount of reflex braced with a B50 string.
