452X vs 8215X String Material??

[UTGrad]

What are the pros and cons of both materials for bow strings??
I believe Vapor Trail makes their strings with 452 and I know Winners Choice uses 8125. I had Vapor Trail strings on a Parker and they were great, but Winners Choice has a great reputation and I know it has been a good string for some folks I know. Archery Den has Winners Choice in stock and am trying to make up my mind...

Thanks,

UT

Check out wallace brooks archery for a great custom string.

I like 452x for low stretch.

 

[UTGrad]

I could be wrong but Winners Choice is a low stretch string as well but it is made of 8125

Yep.. 452x is a great material with almost no stretching.

I haven't used the 8215x. Actually the first I've heard of it.

8125 has more creep and is slightly faster . I like 452X because it is more stable and nearly zero creep.

Right from the manufacturer the BCY 8125 material has more inherent movement the BCY 452. However, with our construction process we can remove the movement in the 8125 material in most cases. This makes both materials very comparable in terms of stability, however some shooters, particularly in the target archery sector, feel that the 452 (which is 450+ in half sized strands) are slightly more stable. About 95% of our customers are using the 8125 material and experiencing great success. In Non-prestreched strings higher Vectran content found in 452x can help to maintain stability, however Vectran is a more brittle material, and may be more prone to speed loss, vibration, and usually has a shorter useful life than 100% Dyneema materials like 8125. Both of these materials are excellent choices for today's compound bows. We recommend you take into account your own preference and shooting style when making your final ordering decision

I had a string made of 8125 and I didn't care for it . I prefer 452X .

I ordered Winners Choice from Jeremy at Archery Den today. Pretty pumped about getting the new strings. I had Vapor Trail on another bow so I thought I would try Winners Choice on the Z7.
