Like Matt and Turc, I haven't seen a difference with the Maverick bows. The fact of the matter is that I've seen more of a difference with metal cable guards over carbon cable guards. The metal acts like a tuning fork and the dampeners neutralize this effect. The carbon cable guards are naturally dampening in their composition.

I'm not saying they don't make a difference. I'm just saying that the difference with carbon cable guards, from my experience, has been negligible.
