Flex In Handle When Swinging?

[feistypea]

Hi everyone,

Really happy with my Deus 2 so far, but I am concerned that I am feeling a flex in the handle as I swing side to side.  I don’t swing very fast, but not slow either.  I’ve only had it out a couple times since we still have frozen ground in the northeast US.  I am using the 11” FMF coil.

edit: To clarify, not talking about a wobble further down the shaft.  I can feel the flex inside of the handle. 

Is this normal, and just something that I will get used to?  Or is something loose/wrong with the shaft?  I’m coming from an Equinox 800 with carbon fiber shaft. 

Thank you!

I can’t say that I’ve noticed any at least so far. I’d check those two screws in back of the armrest. If they were loose ( as some have complained and some have had fall out even) perhaps flexure could result. Some have noticed flexibility in diving use and a special lower rod is supposed to be made especially for diving, but as you say you notice it in the handle. Anyway, I myself haven’t noticed this.
