    How do rollers compare to the slide type cable guides? I assume it has something to do with speed, but how much of a difference is there?

    I shoot the 2011 diamond dead eye. It has a flexible roller cable guide. IMO what this flex roller cable guard does is take the torque of of the riser and lets the cables move in a natural way...I'm not sure if it has anything to do with speed...other than maybe helping to bow be a little more forgiving???...

    The rollers will put more tension on the limbs causing more force there fore making more speed and KE by being stationary , VS a slider where the cables will slide with the limb deflection ........simple as i can make it for the time being , gotta go fire up the grill
