Is the 8125 better than that mathews zebra string? Also you mentioned that 450+ and 452 were priemium strings, 8125 is not? So 450+ is better than 8125 for strings? I'm confused, don't know much about strings and what is better than the other. What are the advantages to have 450+ rather than 8125?
8125 is Dyneema which is a good string with low creep 450+ and 452x is a blend of dyneema and vectran which is suppose to be no creep. Its a give or take, do you want speed or no creep. Vectran slows the string just a little and dyneema is considered a faster string. I like 8125 and dynaflight 97 strings. That is all I used up until this year. I switched over to 450 plus and 452x and like it. Time might tell me different. As of now, I love 450 452 because the settled very well and seem to shoot well.

Oh, and zebra is a good string, it is made with dynaflight 97 and is special because of the double twist that keeps the string from moving when you draw. I used Zebras for years and like them.
