That would be the coffee straw! The cross over system is the same lame attempt to eliminate cam lean as Bowtech attempted to do with their Binary for a few years. Others tried and trashed the idea before it really made it to market.
It basically counter acts the torque applied to power side of the cam by adding
almost equal torque to the control side. Similar to what a Yoke would do if you weren't interested in properly fine tuning your yoke.
Unlike a yoke it originates close to the string lobe of the cam. So as it
crosses over from the left side of the cam to the right side where the cable guard is it often rubs on the cam if the shot is not perfect or the oscillations are too violent. So, unlike Bowtech, Mathews put the clip on coffee straw there to keep from cutting the cable. No Cam shooters would be wise to carry a couple dozen extra if they plan on hunting outside a blind or in a tree.
Basically it is cheaper than a yoke and WAY cheaper than a Monster Cam. And since it is on a split limb you shouldn't see too many broken limbs. My biggest beef is it clouds the sight picture and annoys me
The NoCam is a great idea that fits well with Mathews history of making smooth to draw and smooth to shoot bows. They just need to finish it the right way...and maybe make it a bit less fugly!
