The bow I'm shooting now seems to feel best with ts-1. I have used D-97 and B-50 depending on the individual bow.

Dynaflight '97 or Formula 8125.  How the string is made can make as much or more difference than the material, not to mention tuning, silencer placement, nock fit, etc.

Have just made a few strings for others out of UltraCam and can tell you it is one nice material.

Most of the bows I shoot have Dyna97 and I am planty satysfied.But to be sure wich one is the best you have to compare different strings with a speedometer and bare shaft all the different set ups.Too time to loose for me,I don't think it worths to make a such accurate research,I am pretty sure they are equivalent.

Was using 8 strand D97 and now experimenting with ultracam in the off season and liking it so far.
