I like B-55 but that is for making my own strings for trad bows. I am not even sure what is on my compound, they are Winner's Choice and I am very satisfied with them.

BCY X is a blend of SK90 Dyneema and Vectran - soon the be SK99 and Vectran as the 90 has been discontinued. Fury was 100% SK90 - discontinued and was close to BCY 8190. Brownell replaced it with with Rampage, a 100% UHMWPE material of unknown manufacturer. Probably similar to BCY Mercury - new offering made from SK99 replacing 8190 and 8190F.

BCY for all my strings and offerings

Fury original was SK90 which is no longer being manufactured. So now either the Fury raw material is the a generic equivalent of SK90, the formula changed or they are still working off old stock. BCY X is and was a blend - Fury never was.

Regardless fury was never equal to BCY X which is a blend. Fury was not.
