New Carbon Shaft From Steveg Arrived!

[nickelNdimed]

Man, that would have to be last resort. I’ve seen them.  I don’t even like using the cuff strap and on wireless headphones!  I like to set it down when digging and not be tethered. I guess I could unbuckle it every time.
 

Also not sure it is the weight on my shoulder but the repeated short movements and load when reversing the direction of coil. The pain or this really more in my arm than in  my shoulder or joint. Sometimes elbow.

Have you tried switching arms?  I have gotten pretty good at swinging the coil with either arm.

谢谢你的客气话。我很难运到中国，因为运费很贵（大约65美元），而且我想您也必须支付进口税。我们还有克服的语言障碍！

如果您想和我谈谈这个问题，请告诉我。可以通过steve@stevesdetectorrods.com与我联系。

谢谢！

I can't find such a perfect shaft in China!  I really want to have it!

I’ve thought about it, not tried it.  I’ve spent a lot of time trying to improve my ergonomics and digging efficiency and on my third finds bag now. I’m left handed and should be able to switch this latest bag to my other side. I may try it but feel the swing might be a little sloppy like when I get tired with my left arm.
 

Just did not expect with this detector. My F22 seemed fine, my Seahunter not so much... I’m trying a different configuration on it next time I get to use it at beach which is not often.

I’ll finally get a chance to use my 6” this weekend. If that feels a lot better, I may try to rig up some sort of counterweight with the 11” and try that. I’ve been reading some other posts I found on this and if that works, it would be my preferred solution rather than change other things that are working well for me.

You will love the 6" coil on there, nickeldNdimed, it makes the Nox feel much lighter and easy to swing. After I run with my 6" for a while, I'm really reluctant to go back to the 11" because of the difference in weight and balance.

I know we're getting off topic here, so back to Steve's Shafts, I'm currently talking to him about some ideas for a travel shaft. We'll continue that conversation when he gets back from vacation. ?

I would be happy to work with you on the purchase of a shaft!  Let me know if I may be of service.

Thanks!

nickel -- if you "commit" to swinging with your "off hand" for awhile, it will eventually become second nature; you will become just as proficient as you are with your dominant hand, and can then use either one with equal effectiveness.  Years ago, I developed some tendonitis in my "swinging elbow," due to the weight of the Minelab Explorer (which was my go-to machine).  I was forced to learn to swing with my "off hand," and eventually, it became a non-issue.  Now, I can swing with either -- but still tend to use my "off hand" (lefty) most of the time.

 I have a NOX with Steve's shaft and fully loaded counter weight. I find that with the 11" coil, the balance is perfect for my 6 foot frame.
