Angel Majesty

[Roduk]

Quicks have started stocking Majesty 250m at £4 more than ASS.

I have tried everything to get larger spools. ASS have told me that larger spools would not be a more econimical way of buying it so they will not stock it on larger spools.

As far as I know I am the only person offering Majestic strings commercially in the UK. Unforunately Angel raised their price by over 50% in March. Now £16-50p per 250m cheapest in UK at ASS.

Will be back to this thread later

Have I read on the Angel website that Angel Majesty does not need waxing? or am I getting confused, cause I cant see it now.
Off topic a bit but, does any one still use beeswax,or is there a reason not to use beeswax on the newer string materials?
And lastly, are you suposed to wax the servings?

See - I had had somebody tell me not to wax it, but I was really unhappy with leaving it (especially with the noticeable speed difference), I waxed it like normal but it didn't seem to make any difference whatsoever to the performance (although the string was a bit nicer).

JohnKR -

Beeswax - *thumbs up* yes.

Waxing Servings *thumbs down* no. No need as waxing is designed to keep the strands together (to an extent) - serving does that for you.

On a personal note - I've gone back to using my 8125, I don't like this majesty stuff - if anyone wants any strings for a 68" bow I have 3 for sale ... all in black (£10 ono).

Also trying out some 452X (think quite a few compounders use it)... anyone had a go with this on recurve?

I am happy with my Majesty strings from Roduk above. Better sightmarks than fastflight, better servings. I am using 18 strands and wonder if I could have 16 strands as the string is a little bulky and the strands do not bind as I do not use wax. Friction rubbing does not seem to bond the strings nd I do not wish to melt any strands. They work well in the heat, the cold and the rain.

I read on one of the forums where c3hammer (Pete Carney) thinks 24 strands of 452X is currently the best string he's ever used on a recurve. He said you can go with 20 - 22 strands but he prefers 24. Pete uses 3D serving on the ends and Majesty in the center. Butch Johnson also uses 452X, but I don't know how many strands he uses. I recently bought a spool but haven't made any strings with it yet.
