E-trac -Explorer balance

[dirt doctor]

This question is for the guys who have swung both the E-trac and the Explorer with the stock Minelab pro-coil on both units .Does the new angle on the E-trac grip make that much difference in the feel or balance ? Enough that it allows you to swing the unit longer and more comfortably ?

For me, with out a doubt the new angle makes it more comfortable and allows me to hunt longer

I have to say Yes, 10 hrs yesterday

I noticed an improvement in comfort of use the first day out with the E-Trac.I have used the SE Pro for 8 to 10 hours at a time but find the grip angle and balance of E-Trac much improved for all day hunts.

Me too!
I noticed being more comfortable immediately when I switched.

I would say that, after years of Explorer use, at first my wrist complained alot after a few hours swinging the ETrac.

But now that my arms have adapted to the new handle angle (I alternate arms), I find it more comfortable. Doesn't "feel" as heavy as the EX did.
