do you thinks these work
T.R.U. Bowstring Accelerator Balls Silence your bowstring while gaining up to 12 feet per second in arrow speed with these machined aircraft aluminum balls. Simply move the ball up and down your bowstring to quickly and easily adjust your arrow speed

I dont see how putting anything on your bowstring would make it faster.Am I wrong?

Sometimes placing things at certain points along your bow's string will in fact increase your speed by several fps. The trick is finding where those points along your string are located.

RE: do you thinks these work
Several companies already have such devices installed on the string. If on one of your cables, down next to the cam you have what looks like a piece of shrink tubing, chances are there is a brass nock or two in there for just that, gaining speed.
I took my factory installed string silencers off of my Vectrix and LOST 7 fps....I quick fast re-installed them.

I've never heard of anything like this TRU product. Guess you learn something new everyday.

They absolutely do not work. They were first generation "vibration reduction" so to speak. Been outabout sevenor eightyears. I ordered them out of a Cabelas archery catalog.We crono'd my old High Country Four Runner way back when they came out. It was always slower no matter where we put them. They claim there is a sweet spot, but I wore out the those little screws looking for it.Irhuntr is right, nothing put on makes a string faster.

Maybe they work...but with today's top of the line bow's, what is to gain by increaseing your spped from say 308fps to 312? So many are obsessed with speed, but 308 is very fast in itself.

It's all about the location. As noted by somebody else, there are "sweet spots" on the string that will add speed. Rubber Eliminator Buttons will do the same thing.
12 feet is a pretty hefty claim, though. I'd say that's a little bit of a stretch.
