SBD "rocket" strings

I recently purchased a couple SBD strings to replace my aging generic FF string on my longbow.  I'm shooting a 56# @28 Raptor Signature longbow with a doug fir shaft and 160 grn points (650 grns total).  I am using 80-85# spined shafts which were tuned perfectly for the old string.  The SBD strings are so much faster that I'm spined at least 10# weak now.  I need a test pack starting at 90# to get this straightened out.  This is a great problem to have!  Too much speed!  The SBDs are super quiet too.

I like them, too. Definitely noticed a difference on my Mowhawk LB.

Got my first one for my Widow.  Great string.  Quiet!

Just got mine over the weekend.  Got the ultra for my 46# Fox recurve.  I was a little leery because I ordered an SBD a year or two ago when they were still using D97 rather than the D10 they use now and I couldn't get that sucker to quit stretching.  With a skinny strings you really have to make a lot of twists to make up any ground and I got to where I had it curled up like a spring and it was still too long.  
Well, thought I'd give them another try,  and this time I am very pleased.  Brace height is staying put,  it is quiet without any silencers and I can tell it is whipping my arrow quicker. No chrono proof, but I can definitely tell a difference.  I think I'm going to try an SBD on my Blacktail and Rose Oak.

I don't have a SBD string, but I have went from using D97 to using D10 and I can tell that the D10 definitely does NOT stretch near as much as the D97.
