I find that the Shipwreck’s edges holding the response pads are so sharp that it tends to eat away at the string? At least I think that’s the cause because the response pad sits down deep inside and the edges are exposed and is quite sharp. I had to change the string 3 times now. I find that the string lasts about 8-10 throws before it is in the danger zone of snapping.
Any hints or tricks? Someone said rubbing the catch zone on denim helps, I might try that after reading all options.
The denim trick is a blessing and a miracle. I can’t believe how little it’s eating the string now after rubbing each half for 5 minutes. I am going to do another 5 minutes later tonight, and that’ll hopefully eliminate the problem altogether.
