| not TXGs but i too use 18 strand 8125 strings from SDM with my border limbs compares favourably to xcel (the only material ive shot off these limbs) - 8125 is much 'snappier' IMHO slainte rob

| I shoot TXS limbs, very similar to TXG's and I use Angel Majesty by RodUK, 20 strands IIRC. Quiet, fast and no stretch. Good groups though can be a little harsh if BH set low. I find 9" to be OK on a 68" bow. So I think you should be OK with any high end string material.

| Hi, I don't use TXGs either, but my old Premier Carbons go wonderfully with D-75 (probably thin, there's about 16 strands and I use Small Beiter nocks with Diamondback serving). It's the most popular string material here in Geneva, but then the local shop is run by an ex-French team archer (Richard Cordeau) who says it's great. I've tried a few others and not found any to be better. Generally it seems that most string materials these days are pretty much identical except for strand thickness.

| On all the bows I have that can use FF type materials I use 10 strands of DF97 or 12 strands of 8125 with 16 strands in the loops. These are all Flemish twist. We also serve with 030 serving to get proper noc fit. For light draw bows under 45# I drop 2 strands. Pete
