Default brownell x-cel string material

after a few month testing period i'm going to start offering brownell x-cel string material also. its got the same percentages of vectran and dyneema as bcy's 452x. each strand is a hair larger than 452x, and seems to be a bit smoother, more like the feel of 8125. the advised strand count is 20, but the shoot string can be cut to 18. i don't have chrono results as i check speed about once a year for curiousity's sake only. the 3 bows i've strung up with it and watched for a few months, it acts like 452x. there are differences in how its died and manufactured a bit though. anyway, i think its on par w/ 8125 and 452x as the top materials and i ought to offer it for that very reason. preference is usually a personal thing and depends on a lot of factors. in my opinion its worth checking out for yourself.
