RE: D loop issue now!!!
If like you say the loop is not spinning on the serving, but the string is stretching and twisting then the Ultra nock is not going to fix your problem. And it is a PIA to put on and adjust if you need to. At least with the string loop all you have to do is give it a twist. With the Ultra Nock you will have to loosen the tiny screws and turn it, hoping that you get it right and that the nocking point doesn't change. If your string is twisting the ultra nock will turn right with it, just like the string loop is.
I have used them before, and they work, but so does a decent loop and costs way less and weighs a lot less. Plus the metal nock can be hard on your release sometimes, or your release may not even work with one.
It sounds to me like you have a string issue, not a nock issue. For now let it twist where it wants, just rotate back straight when you nock the arrow and hook up your release. The peep should still remain lined up if your loop is not turning on the serving. When it settles in put your bow in a press and add or remove a twist or so until it lines up the way you want it.
If it ends up your loop is turning on the serving you could serve the loop in like a peep sight or something.

100% agree, make sure the knots are on opposite sides. NEVER put superglue on your serving or loop. It will deterioate it. Don't ask me how I know this[:@]! I will tell ya, punching yourself in the face, hurts LOL.
Another thing you can do, put a couple small notches on a set of needlenose pliers, align your peep and loop, use the pliers to tighten the heck out of the loop. It should not come loose.

D-loop. Doesn't this damage or wear out (friction)your release jawsor at least make noise. Also, whatabout additionalweight on your bow string?

are the knots on your loop on opposite sides? That is one things guys do who tie loops wrong the knots have to be facing in opposite directions, if not the loop may want to twist on the string. If you post a pic of it I can tell

DO NOT USE A METAL LOOP!
Those things are junk. Too heavy, they tear up your releases and can really damage your cable gaurd. If you use a release with a metal loop you might as well throw it away if you ever go back to string loops.
I can't count on both hands how many cable gaurds I've seen all dinged up because of people using metal loops.
