I'm sure some of you will have seen Simon's latest developments at Reign; the Reign Supreme series.
These are made with materials from Bloodline Fiber, 100% SK99 Dyneema.
They claim to have a synthetic coating that removes the need for waxing and to have double the lifespan compared to existing materials amongst several other selling points.
Note also that the same material is being used for both compound and recurve strings.
I've used Simon's strings for over 15 years since I started as a kid, and they have always been fantastically well-made.
If he thinks this is the best material I'll trust him on it, and probably be ordering a new set of these next time I need my bow re-stringing at the end of summer.
However, I was wondering what other people's thoughts on this were.
Given how dominant BCY is, especially on the compound strings scene, I'm surprised I've never heard of Bloodline before now. Did I miss something?
And what do people think about this new wax-less wonder material?
They also make a serving material (Boa) that will feature on the new Reign strings.
Does anyone have experience with these materials and how they compare to others, e.g. BCYX, Halo, etc.?
