Title: 450 plus and Ts plus?
Post by: Keefer on August 02, 2013, 07:52:00 AM
I make my own strings mostly  from b-50 dacron  and TS plus  but I noticed   I had what I thought was TS plus  but had written on the bottom 450 plus...
Not sure if it's the same as TS plus and can they be used together or not?
Has anyone used these together?
I ordered it and was thinking I had ordered Ts plus but got 450 plus ...

I think they are from two different manufacturer's.450+ is made by BCY and TS plus is made by Brownell.I would not mix them as they are two different strength's and string diameter is different.

Thanks,
I know the 450plus is a bit bigger in     diameter and I haven't used it yet so I can get  some more ts plus or just wait to get another roll of 450 plus to go with my roll  of yellow...Again thanks for letting me know   that...

I like 450+ because BCY has 1/8# spools available for their strings.I use 450+ for some of my skinny strings,I'll make a padded loop 6 strand 450+ for my bows upto 60#.A 6 strand 450+ is about the same diameter as a 8 strand D97,10 strand 8125 and 12 strand 8190.A 6 strand 450+ is the string that comes with Super Shrew's or used to come with them.
