RE: Twisting your string!
FastFlight needs quite a few twists -- I've got about 1 twist per inch. It can take up to 1.5 twists per inch (if memory sieves me correctly). Other string materials need fewer twists.

I use a cable clamp to keep the right number of twists in my string. Pop both ends into the open clamp and close it -- no chance of it untwisting.
