Custom Strings
Hey guys, I hope all had a great Holiday and a Happy New Year! May the upcoming year be your best one yet!! Down to business....I need a new string for my Hoyt Ultratec cam & 1/2, and was wondering who makes the best??? I have used Mathews Zebra and Tiger strings on my Mathews before, but thought that would be sacriligious for my Hoyt. Any help would be appreciated!!

RE: Custom Strings
Winners Choice. Put my first one on almost 1 1/2 years ago and aside from me messing with stuff myself (can't help it) I haven't had to retune yet due to string strech. Peep has not rotated out of view either.
I just e-mailed them about a slight serving separation on one of the very tight angles on the cam and even though the string is past the one year warranty period, they offered to either replace it with a new string for 1/2 price or I could send it in and they would reserve it for me. I got a response in less than 24 hours from them.
I will not use another string from now on.

RE: Custom Strings
The biggest difference in string quality is not in the materials used. It is the construction method. Some are much more careful and use techniques that make for a better string (better servings, no creep). You are not paying for string, you are paying for knowledge and technique.
Buying from a large company with great technique (like Winner's Choice), will cost more, but the string will preform very well. There are some great values out there, including some individual string makers , like Berry Strings, that will give you a great product at a lower price. I make my own, and they are the best, simply because I am so darn meticulous and careful when making the string for my own bow.
