Go to Post ... One of the things I happen to like about the Chief Delphi community is that at every competition I go to, someone recognises me and comes over to say hi ... I meet someone new, they meet someone new, and it's win/win. - EddieMcD [more]

[FTC]: Best non-stretchy cord?

What type of cord are people using in their lifters? We have tried two different nylon cords but they can be too stretchy. Is there anything out there that isn't stretchy?

Our teams are using 100lb test braided fishing line. Works great!

Use kevlar cord. We got 3/32" braided plyester over kevlar core for ~$15 for 100 feet. It is 600 lb test and can take sharp radius bends under high tension loading.
