The 6, 8 and 10 strands are made from the "New" BCY D-10, which is 100% Dyneema(SK-78). I wasn't aware that SBD also makes 12 strands strings.

Mine are 10 strand D10. The D97 strings I got with the bows, I needed to keep an eye on.

I didn't say I didn't like them.  They are all that I shoot now.  Just the three that I have all creeped for quite some time.  Maybe I will order them a little shorter next time?  Just a thought, could you acquire too much twist? I need to order 2 more for back ups.

That were exactly my thoughts. When you have creep, you ordered your string probably too long and has too many twists.
I use too string my bow and then measure the lenght from groove to groove on my bow.That length I use as ASL (actual string lenght) for Pierre.

I was wondering the same. If you follow his instructions you hang the string loose and measure. I have never done it that way, but did follow his instructions when I ordered.

Too much twist will cause creep.  You want to order as close to zero twist as possible.

After shooting for 4 days now, I have noticed a small amount of creep. When I ordered my strings I just gave him the length and model of my bow. Not sure how many twists are too many, but Pierre said you will get better performance with more twists.  This came after I said I didn't want to measure off my old string as it looked to be too short with only a few twists.

Would like to make a correction as I misunderstood Pierre when we spoke.  He said the string will perform better with LESS twists.  My mistake.
