i love zebra strings, they keep me in business.

serving has nothing to do with creep, stretch, or anything to do with any of that.

serving the right direction on all parts, and in the proper order has everything to do with peep control.

the tighter the tension on the string when you serve, the tighter you can serve without twisting the string all up, but you don't have to serve quite as tight when you have a lot of tension on the string. when you're done serving and take the string off the tension it relaxes under the serving and tries to get thicker, and that helps it stay put.

you can walk down a wall of brand new mathews bows and see some nice strings, and some that already have the serving unraveling.

the new fuse strings by hoyt, stretched to 800# blah blah blah, are having their serving coming apart. just because you can tension a string doesn't mean you know how to make one.

i'd never send out a string that had been tensioned over 200#. taking a string to half its failure point in the process of making it is, well, a very stupid marketing technique.
