    Anyone ever wax your serving?? I did this today and everything went south big time after that! I'm thinking I'm not getting a smooth release now with the wax on there, also building up on my tab a bit! :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

    I waxed mine from the start so I notice no difference when shooting.

    I didn't know you weren't supposed to wax everything. I've always run a little across my servings. Should I stop?

    I might of put to much wax on and not enough wax off(haha), but I will not be doing this again! I just know right after I did this my practice went to ****. I'll wax the end of the serving but not where it contacts my tab!

    I wouldn't put any where your fingers grip the string just the top and bottom of the serving, for BHF's reasons.

    I've always waxed my string from top to bottom, never had an Issue.
