Default String information that you might be interested in.

I was just talking a Vapor Trail and got the following information from them.

Vapor Trail VTX are a blend of fibers that are extremely stable and resist stretch, but match the speed of 452x.
Bowtech stock strings are made with 452x fibers.
BCY 8125 fibers gain 1-2 FPS and tend to creep a lot.

What do you guys make of this? It may be biased, but it is something to consider.

452X does not make a particularly fast string, but it is certainly creep resistant.

I believe that the Vapor Trail VTX material has similar speed characteristics to 8125 but the stability of 452X. At least that is what I have observed.

FWIW: My VT string and cable set has been completely stable on my Trykon XL (70#) for two years with no peep rotation and very minimal loss of draw weight.
