I asked Mathews what the differance was and they told me that the baracuda is pre streched and made so that you don't get serving seaperation. Aparantly their manufacturing process isn't working too well.[]

I don't shoot a Mathews for many reasons that I won't get into but from what I understand their strings are some of the worst made.

Some great strings would be Winners Choice, Pro strings, Stone Mountain, Vapor trail.....

There are still more that others can list for you as well.
