Default String Drag and Letoff?

Someone shared this info with me so I thought I would ask if anyone knows about it. I was told that serving diameter/tightness can effect the letoff % a bow can reach. A buddy of mine took his new VT strings to a shop and they tech checked for letoff and could only get 75% letoff. I guess he then slapped a set of his custom built strings on which supposedly had tighter/cleaner servings (according to my source) and was able to get a full 80% letoff. The tech told the guy that the VT servings weren't served as well and that it caused drag which wouldn't allow for max letoff. Not trying to bash any strings or anything just want to know if this technical aspect of strings and servings is correct. Thanks
