    I've heard people praise them and others cuss them. Been thinking of trying them out, just wondered what people here thought of them.

    They work well. Smooth and very easy on cables.
    However they can and do fail at times. The axle pin is small and thin, and the plastic tab that hold it all together I have seen break.

    I prefer a simple Teflon slide without any moving parts, I make a Conscience effort to eliminate any potential point of failure.

    Sometimes you get a good Hyper Glide, and sometimes you don't. I am beginning to think they have a few quality control issues at the moment.

    I have one that chatters, pops, and is bumpy as it rolls over the guide rod.

    I have emailed Saunders, and have yet to receive a response. It has been two weeks. I will have to try and email them again.

    Sounds like customer service leaves a bit to be desired.

    I love mine. I've had the same one on my current bow for about 2 years now and it really made for a smooth draw and quiet shot.

    Thanks for all the input. As I've read these replies it's reminded me of my TT Smackdown rest, 4+ years without an issue, yet others experiencing all sorts of problems. I'll give the Saunders a shot. Again thanks for the input.

    I was thinking about buying one but the standard teflon slide is good for me.

    I had one on an Assassin two years ago. I had zero issues. It is now on my wife's PSE Chaos and still going strong.
