I just strung up the Prince Recoil on my drop-weight Gamma X-2. I won't have time to play with it until Friday, but I can tell you what it was like to string it.
It's hard to explain- nothing like I've really felt before, but the closest I can think of is a thin spaghetti noodle that was soaked just enough to make it not break when you bend it. It felt slippery, but after stringing it, it doesn't feel like any of that slipperyness is on my fingers. It had very little coil memory even though it was very tightly coiled in the package (see pics below). Getting the starting clamp to stay was a little difficult because if I dropped the weight too quickly, the string would slide along the 3 center mains at the same time, so I had to be careful with it. The mains were quick and easy, and the crosses were probably the easiest time I've ever had with doing them- very little friction burn, if any, while pulling the crosses.
I normally string it 57-58 lbs on my mains and 57 lbs on my crosses. Since it says 10% less, but I heard that doesn't work so well- I ignored it mostly and did 57/55 lbs on my mains and crosses respectively.
I'm excited to see how it plays and will probably make another thread when that happens.
