Yoke question

I am no expert on the set-up of bows. I took my V3X 29 to get new GAS strings and cables installed. They are a top 10 in US GAS dealer so I would think they know what they are doing. I noticed after shooting at home to sight in (it shoots really good) the bottom yoke string looks crooked. Is this normal or way off what it should look like. Thank you

The local shop looked at the serving on the cables also and thought the roller bearings might be having issues because of how bad the wear was on the serving... nope, the rollers were fine and the cables are just wearing out that bad.

I guess I'm lucky to have gotten a year out of them. I ordered new string and cables and giving up on the zebras. They aren't horrible but Mathews doesn't, for good reason at the volume they do, do a good job of stretching them well enough before they go on a bow. They were stable for a while but when they started breaking down it went bad quickly
