Description
BCY Powergrip Serving Material
The Powergrip Serving Material from BCY is designed for archers and string builders who require exceptional grip, durability, and serving performance. Constructed from a tightly braided blend of Spectra® fibres and nylon yarn, this serving thread features a special resin coating that improves handling and helps maintain secure serving wraps.
Suitable for both compound and recurve bowstrings, it provides reliable performance for centre serving and end serving applications. As a result, it has become a popular choice among professional string builders and competitive archers.
Powergrip Serving for Reliable String Protection
A quality serving material protects critical areas of the bowstring from wear and abrasion. This braided serving thread delivers dependable protection while maintaining excellent flexibility and durability.
Furthermore, the resin-coated surface helps the serving grip the string securely, reducing the risk of separation during use.
Spectra and Nylon Fibre Construction
The combination of tightly braided Spectra® and nylon fibres creates a strong and durable serving material. Consequently, it offers excellent abrasion resistance and long-lasting performance under repeated shooting cycles.
In addition, the braided construction provides a smooth finish that works well on both recurve and compound bow setups.
Multiple Sizes for Different Applications
Different bowstring designs require different serving diameters. Therefore, Powergrip is available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various string and cable configurations.
When using smaller diameters such as .009″, BCY recommends applying lower serving tension to help prevent snagging during installation.
