I can't seem to find much info on TS1 string material. The only place I see it is for sale is Binghams. 3 rivers has strings but not the material. Who makes it and how does it compare to other material such as Dynaflight 97. Thanks, Don

Brownell makes it. It makes a very durable string, and a quiet string but I found it to creep more than expected for a modern string material. Once the strings stretch, they become pretty stable.

My favorite. I think it has a "softer" feel than D 97 and some other FF materials.

How much stretch are we talking about. I guess you could make the string  short and stretch it. I can put about 250 lbs. on a string with my stretcher. Thanks,Don

Shaun

I find virtually no stretch in a well made string.

In my experience with TS1, the flemish twist string needs to be layed up about 1" shorter. Good string material; quieter and softer feel than standard FF.
