What is the difference between Dacron and Fast Flight strings? And the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Yeah, I'd do a search under the PowWow.  There's likely several pages regarding this subject.

Short answer:

Dacron is safe for any bow.  I've never seen a bow designed for FF type materials damaged by it, although the string usually gets the blame if a bow fails with a FF string on it.

Dacron stretches a lot--most FF type materials don't.  A lot less adjusting of brace height, a more consistent shot.

FF type materials are a lot tougher/more durable than dacron, and don't cut nearly as easy.

FF type materials are much stronger, so you can use fewer strands for a lighter/faster string.
