What I like about WC strings is they work, straight from the packet, no twisting no fuss.
It takes me 3-4 hours to make a set of strings. For a set of Winners Choice my time is worth more than $25 p/h. |
We have had 2 sets of strings from Winners Choice and they were both pants. Perhaps we were unlucky but they were not well finished and after about 2 months of shooting my wife started to get really bad peep rotation issues. Tom Nealy who founded Winners Choice now sells his own strings which I have been told are how WC strings used to be. Her coach wasn't impressed with the WC strings either, he uses Tom Nealy to make all his strings.
I agree on the point about costing your time, however I enjoy making them as it gives me some quiet time
