Did anyone test the ´´smoother draw´´ or is it based on just the mind game that as soon as rollers are involved it has to be smoother ?
I had the Payne roller a few years back and it was not measurable that it was smoother drawing at all compared, to the stock slide which was lighter in physical weight.

 

The smoother draw and speed, with & without, have been tested.
One review I saw got like 2fps faster with the roller glide, and he said it was noticeably smoother.
Some of the reviews had a little more speed that that; i guess it depends on the bow, and how bad the roller was needed.
I've seen a lot of good reviews on the Payne roller too. Like-ability may be bow or perspective related.
Their increased weight should not be an operational problem, physics wise, for those devises.
The PSE and Payne ones are said to be very well made.
1 in 50 failures for the Saunders, for most archers, is still considered to be too much of a time bomb.

 

The standard PSE slide is about $6. At $50, is this new Roller Glide worth the improvement you see to your bow.
Archers spend money on other expensive accessories like balancing systems and sights.
Many of us have bows the cost between $1500 and $2000 W/Acc.
It's amusing how much a little improvement is worth to some of us.

 

This actually intrigues me. I've had some cable slide wear issues where my cables are actually eating through my slides. Tried just about every one except for the Bomar and AAE. The Hoyt seems to be holding up the best but would love to try this

How's the noise?

 

I just sold one of the Michael Payne's slides and I have one on my hunting bow.... $50, probably not... $35 all day long. Oh and I hope PSE paid that man something when they basically stole his design.

 

If they stole it, I don't think they paid him. LOL

 

who is selling these??

 

You should be able to get this roller glide for about $50 at any pro shop that sells PSE bows.

 

I like it. I like it allot.

 

Where can I find the Michael Payne roller guide?

 

Tag...have an Elite that goes through cables pretty quickly. I beleive these will work, correct?

 

Does anyone know how far these come off of the rod? Currently using a Hoyt slide but I get less clearance with it. Hoping this is a bit shorter than the Hoyt and more like the Saunders

I heard that they give the same amount of clearance as a standard PSE slide. I dont know about the Hoyt slides but I know the standard PSE slides do not pull the cables in as far as the Saunders.

 

I have been shooting my Dominator 3D for quite a while, I shoot indoor, 720s and 3D.

A few months back I had a creaking sound on my bow that had my heart pounding, after taking it to a friend my cable slider just had a bit of dust which caused the screeching sound. Today I actually got my PSE roller guard installed, and I have to say... The draw is much smoother and the one thing that I found quite amazing is the lack of sound on draw.

It does get me much more relaxed. Overall it is pricey here in South Africa, but sure as hell worth it.

 

I have the Payne slide's on my Phenom and Freak, great slides, no wear, no noise. I wish he could have patented them, but that costs a lot of money. The great thing about his, is they work on the standard flex guide, where the new PSE won't with the small screws.--BB

 

Just a warning, the PSE roller on my Decree frayed my cables after about 1 month. I'm in the process of replacing them now.

 

I wonder why the Roller Glide frays some cables and other have no problems with it? Mel

 

Paynes slides had the rollers set on a slight angle, maybe that's why mine don't eat cables?--BB

 

To me it looks like the rollers should be at an angle to match the cable angle(s).

I agree with this, also PSE should serve the cables in this area. I'm getting new ABB cables and having them served this time.

 

Just ended up serving mine with only my fingers while my cables were still on the bow. It was quite a pain in the butt and I have blisters and serving cuts from pulling so tight to prove it. Maybe it will hold up. Maybe not but it's worth a shot

 

Found this today http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bow-String-...or-Compound-Bow-ArcheryTools-/272590614386?roken=cUgayN&soutkn=LMWm8o via @eBay

 

For $12, I ordered two of these ^^^^just to try them out. I put one of the roller guards and offset brackets from PSE on one of my Freaks, so far so good, but I do see the slightest bit of fray starting.

 

Went to wax my cables today as they were starting to look worn at the cable guard. Caught the beginnings of a fray caused by the rollers. Bow is a Freak EV. I may serve the replacement cables or I may just go back to the regular slide. Not sure yet.

I picked up one at my local shop and put it on. Was lazy and hadn't waxed my strings and i noticed a little fuzziness so i waxed my strings well and there hasn't been anymore wear since. Would be nice in there was a slight angle to the rollers to better match the cable angle but it would have to be a middle ground since cable angles change throughout the draw cycle. I'm sure serving the cables would work also.

Like the rolling feature on the cable rod, should be no chatter even in the rain. All in all very happy with it so far.

 

those eBay ones look like the Bernardini roller guides. they are not bad, but the smaller rollers tend to slide rather than roll.

@wilkinsonk - yeah, found the same with the PSE ones I bought. you need to serve the cables. once you do though the draw is glasslike.

 

Looks just like my Decree cables, wore then out in 2 months.

 

I bought an Xpression about two months, and I am noticing some wear on the buss cable. The Xpression has the adjustable cable rod, has anyone adjusted the rod to try and change the angle of the roller, or to lessen the friction on the cable? Looking at it, theoretically, it seems that I would turn the screw out, as if I'm unscrewing it, to move the cable rod in, which would lessen the load on the cable.

Opinions?

 

Just put in an order with 60x for another set of BCY X threads. This time I'm having the area under the cable slide (roller) served.



KMiha,

On my Freak I had the cable guard rotated so that I was getting minimal fletching clearance. I learned too late that if you go to far in that the cable starts contacting the string stop, which will fray and eventually cut strands in your cable.

 

I was thinking about getting one for my vendetta. now im not so sure anymore:confused3:

 

$35 from Lancaster

Those will still fray cables. The problem is that the rollers aren't on the same angle as the cables.

I just picked one up for my E35 from LAS. It can't be much or any worse on the cables than stock slides, and it bound to be smoother than the stock slide that is on my elite. I'm going to serve my cables where it goes through the rollers. I can't see it the rollers hurting the cables if they are served. Shouldn't be any more wear on the cables' serving with the rollerglide than a bow with the regular roller guard like my Halon X. We'll see.
