Default Fast flight strings and noise?


Resent/old posts concerning fast flight strings have raised some questions in my mind that many of you might know but I haven't been able to find what I consider enough information concerning quiting them down.
Bow noise is was one of my biggest concerns, i place it right up there with bow "smoothness) witch is another topic altogether.

Normally with the older bows you could get them fairly quite with brush buttons and "Puffs" of this or that, being wool/fur or rubber. However it appears that the new strings (fast flight) have brought along some new sound/vibration problems that are greater then the old.

What are considered the correct steps to take in shutting down the noise with the new type strings without getting rid of the speed they are supposed to deliver?

Actually, I believe the the FF (I pretty much use the DF97) strings are quieter then dacron.

Sir, I see that you are a life member and have a lot of posts, but I simply don't understand that answer. How can a string that is unforgiving in stretch witch would cause more shock in it's abrupt action cause less noise than a string that had some leeway/forgiveness in it?
I have never shot a FF type string so I could very well be missing something, could you please explain further?

Technically I can't answer that further. Maybe Chad could.My statement is based on experience.FWIW, I also believe that there is less handshock in FF strings.If your bow can handle the FF, I would most definetely give it a try. From what I have heard, some recurves maybe quieter with a dacron because of string slap, that has not been my experience however. I even use FF on my Selfbows.
