    So I see Elite says they put on Winner's choice strings on all of their new bows. Are these the same quality strings as normal winner's choice? Or are they a knock-offs with the winner’s choice name on it to save money?

    Typically I've always replaced the factory strings on any new boy I've purchased but if Elite is putting on a top quality string stock I'll stick with it. What do you say?

    Not sure I've never shot or seen an Elite bow in person. However, from all the rave I hear about them I would assume they are real Winners Choice strings. Also given the price of their bows, I would sure hope they are real Winners Choice Strings.

    Ok here is the deal on the winners choice strings....I have had two new Elites since they started putting Winners choice on their bows. I have never been a winners choice fan even before Elite started using them, they never been a favorite of mine. Now all that aside the WC are WAY better then the majority of factory strings out there. For example I have bought a Hoyt and Prime the past two years and I replaced both factory strings ASAP, they were junk. The winners choice on the Elites I have left on and used till they needed replacing.
    So I think what your getting at is two things...no they are not knock offs and unless your SUPER picky you wont need to replace then original WC string till you shoot them out...
    hope this helps.

    It does. Thanks. I am picky mostly because I can't stand my peep turning or have the string keep stretching. I have always used Vapor Trail. The Hoyt factory strings do suck.

    The 2014 Hoyt strings rock. They switched to BCY X material this year and these strings have performed as good as any custom set ive used. I kept checking my timing on my Carbon spyder on the draw board as i broke it in, anticipating string/cable stretch and for my timing to be off. Never happened! First set of strings ive ever not had to retime after break in.
