Cecils' comment goes directly to the issue.

A WINDOM is a 136 feet long antenna that is fed 36% off center with a
SINGLE WIRE against ground.

No balun is necessary!!

Heck, no coax is necessary; or, no twin lead is necessary! Just a wire.

Anything advertised as a coax fed windom is NOT a WINDOM!!

Correction: fed 36% from one end, or 14% off center.
