New Strings!
Just got new custom strings on my Z28! I had two years on the old ones, although they were still in fairly good condition, they were starting to see some signs of wear. So I went to visit my friend Mike Scaniffe at Lightning Bowstrings, we put together these! They look great, thanks Mike!

Mike is a great guy and his attention to detail is amazing. The quality of the strings in top notch.
They look good. What material?

Remember unless something has changed recently which I have not heard of 8190 will void the warranty, Elite has stated in the owners manual that only 452X is to be used. Any other material or reducing the strand count will void your warranty, it has been this way since 2006 when Elite was started.

Spoke with Customer Service today and Dick in Warranty Dept. and as long as strings are build to standards from high quality material there is no issue with the warranty.

Then Elite recently changed that as I talk to Dick at least twice a month and the last time we spoke it was still 452X but he did mention they were testing more materials but didn't have any info to pass on at that time. That will be good to know once he calls me back and verifies your info, nothing against you but I have to hear if from Elite before I would use any other material on a customers set. Hopefully he will get a chance to call back today so I will know for sure, I have had a ton of guys tell me that other materials were OK to use in the past and when I double checked with Dick he stated that it was still only 452X and I don't want to be the one responsible for voiding a customers set.

Anyone have any actual performance data? I've kind of dropped the ball on getting this for you guys. I'd like to find out if there's ant speed change between the two on the same bow with matching tune.
I couldn't wait for you any longer have a black spool inbound. Going to build some all black with sunset servings. One source claimed 8fps using the same color combo which I am skeptical of.
