How many Mathews guys have we heard on here wishing they would redesign their grips? What about the strings they use? Why won't they switch to a better string and cable setup?
These are two areas I think they could improve upon to make a better bow and not cost themselves ANYTHING. This isn't a "cut" on the company....just a suggestion!

RE: Defending Mathews....
Well....I'm "thinking" if you're WC....and a Co. like Mathews agrees to switch to your strings and cables EXCLUSIVELY......the added revenue generated by the GUARANTEED increase in sales of your product "might" make you give them a good price point.
I could be wrong, but it works that way in most industries.....
OR....you could be innovative like Bowtech....and put the $$ into R&D....make your own....and likely SAVE $$ in the long run.
But hey......I just build buildings

Sorry I had Bowtech string on my bow, no where near as good as WC IMO.
Mathews has not had the "cough cough" issues bowtech has had.
There both fine bows, I have shot them both. I like single cam bows
I will admit the new ones shoot sweet

I didn't say the Bowtech strings were as good as WC....but IMO, they're FAR Superior to what comes on a stock Mathews.

You talking about the old Zebra strings or the newer Barracuda strings? I've got a set of the Barracuda strings and they have seemed to settle in just fine.

Maybe I am, John. Whatever was on my new '05 Switchback was junk. If they've upgraded....I wasn't aware (imagine).
