Mathews Zebra Trophy X (2-Cam)
Fair
Ranked #8 of 8 compound bowstrings
$99.99
The Zebra Trophy line is Mathews' own string program — a patented BCY X blend, pre-stretched and pre-conditioned at the factory to kill peep rotation and serving separation. For a hundred bucks it's the cheapest premium-fiber set here, and if you shoot a Mathews it's the exact spec the bow was tuned around. Just note the color count depends on where you order.
Standout feature: Factory-spec Mathews strings in premium BCY X fiber for under $100.

CareScore breakdown
How the 42.1/100 was built. Each spec is normalised to a 0–100 quality score, then weighted.
Data note: Price $99.99 (Lancaster). Patented BCY X material (Mathews describes the Zebra Trophy line as a proprietary BCY 452X blend), pre-stretched/pre-conditioned, made in USA, ~2–3 week special order verified on Lancaster + stories.mathewsinc.com. Color count recorded as 23 (Lancaster listing); Mathews' own site cites ~40 — noted as seller-dependent, lower verified figure used. Mathews classifies its strings as consumable parts, and the Zebra Trophy Process guarantees only 'no serving separation' — not the full one-year against-all-failures guarantee the aftermarket custom shops publish — so warrantyMonths is scored 0 (a factory-replacement OEM string, not a warrantied aftermarket set), not null. Serving detail not published, left null. Sources: lancasterarchery.com/products/zebra-trophy-2-cam-string-cable-set, stories.mathewsinc.com/product/zebra-hybrid/.
