I disagree with whoever you heard the String Bat opinion on Dairy King. They left a very audible twang after the shot on my Patriot. The Leeches win hands down over the Bats in this respect, although the Bats are much more durable than the Leeches. I wanted the Bats to work given their cost, but I couldn't tolerate the resonance. The cat whiskers, when properly tied, look good IMO and work just as well as Leeches at 1/4 the cost. The drawback is that to tie them right can take a bit of time.
