    I've used both. Both work well but I prefer flemish twist for is great adjust ability of length and they just look darn good to boot! ;)

    What do you all prefer?

    I prefer the flemish due to the loops being stronger and the greater adjustability.

    I use flemish strings because like BC...that's all I can make. Now my brother uses endless strings and he's made a couple for me. They do seem to be a quicker,although there's a bit more noise to them than with the flemish. But nothing that can't be taken care of. Also,they stretch alot less than flemish...once it's adjusted properly,it's pretty much set

    I like both but I prefer flemish because I can adjust the brace height easier with a flemish.

    My main bow came with an endless loop. I like it, it seems to be very durable and I like the thinner diameter cause it fits my nocks without having to tinker with them.
    All of my other bows have Flemish strings.
