What do you consider your "go to" string and serving material?

I am wondering what my fellow Trad Gangers consider their "go to" string and serving material? Flemish or endless? Thanks for entertaining my question! Have a great day.

Normally flemmish, D97, and halo. Last 3 strings I used some different colors of #4 nylon even though it will wear out much faster.

I typically use fast flight plus (14 strands) served with Crown serving.

I used D-97 with halo for several years, then I switched to D-10 recently, but I can't tell a whole lot difference of between the two. For my ~ 50# bows I go with 10 strand D-10 flemish, loops padded to 16 strands with dacron, halo serving. I always tie on a double nocking point with string material, either cat whiskers or hush puppies for silencing.

I like for endless and flemish 8190 material about 12 to 14 strand with either 2 or 3 ply (depending on bow) with extra strands in loops for both and have used Halo ever since they came out(like the colors) but now Im playing more and more with crown serving and have used all of BCY string materials over the years the 8190 is tops in my opinion..never had very much luck with Brownell brands as I have had more string breakage ..never broke a BCY string YET but thats me..last XS2 material I used and broke 3 strings in a week so no more for me other than serving

I am not too picky on string material. However I feel Crown serving is the slickest and most durable. I shoot an endless string and feel most people would find it to be superior to flemish strings.

I just stick to flemish D-97, mostly 8 strands with double serving of #4 nylon. Works great for me. Since I have plenty of these materials I see no reason to switch.

This is great! What is the difference between d97, 8125, and 8125g. Nominal? They all seem to be great materials.
