Cable slide queston

Does anyone know if there is a cable slide available similar to the Saunders hyper slide but with rollers on the cable rod AND the cables themselves?
Here is a pic of the Saunders slide for those that are not familiar with it.

This patented slide snaps on in seconds to replace any under cable-rod slide. The slide glides over the cable on a large super low friction wheel while the cables are cradled in our super slick, super quiet proprietary material..Hyper-Glide™. This material is smoother and slicker than any other and can only be found on the Fast and Buzz-Off slides. Guaranteed to be the best. Available in Black and Chameleon Camo.

Sorry, but no I don't.
I did install one of those on my Patriot for a couple of minutes and it felt great to shoot, shot the same speed as my (non-rolling
) glide slide, which was 1 fps faster than either the stock or a Simms.
BUT the slide pulled the cables over too far IMHO. It was designed (IMHO) for a cable rod that extends straight back from the riser at no angle. The patriots’ cable rod seems to angle out and away from the risers flat edge. This causes the Saunders to pull WAY over.
I called Saunders to see if they planned on making a slide to accommodate bowtech style bows and the answer was a bewildered "no".
If all you are worried about is the non-rolling vs. rolling issue I'd say give it a shot. They slots in the Teflon are nicely cut/molded and create very little to no wear as far as I could see.
It's the amount of pull that worried me.

I felt that my cable rod was keeping the cable too far away and causing more cam lean than I like so I made a cable slide that I can adjust for minimal clearance and a whole lot less cam lean.I have been shooting with it for almost a year and it works quite well.Ron
