Default String Makers Input

I just put a new vaportrail harness system on my vectrix xl yesterday. I was wondering why it is on some strings and cables the twists will be in one direction, and on some it will be in others? Is their a purpose to which direction the twists go, or is it just personal preference? Also when considering the floating yoke on the hoyt bows, I was told to put counterclockwise twists on one side of the yoke and clockwise twists on the other so that the yoke balances itself out. Also to put more twists on the right side since I am a right handed shooter to keep the cam tracking straight and to reduce the effects of the cablerod torque.What is your input on this? How many twists should their be in general on a hoyt floating yoke per side? I know alot of questions, but just curious.

Default RE: String Makers Input

Mainly it is personal preference unless the string is going to be for a finger shooter. If for a finger shooter it needs to be served in a certain direction depending if it is for a left hand or right handed shooter. It has to be in a certain direction for a finger shooter so that when they draw the bow, the center serving will always be in a tightening twist under their fingers. If you served them the wrong way the serving will work itself looser each time they draw the bow.
