I have been using an Anderson straight shaft for a week now and I love it! I was at first concerned about it hitting me in the back as I swung the shaft. It doesn't. I also read a post about someone not liking to have to remove their arm from the cuff, I find that is not a problem at all, but then I don't tighten the band where it's hard for me to get my arm in and out. I also used the diamond shaft from Nuttall Enterprises. He was great to order from and the scoop is awesome!!! I would recommend it to anyone. I just cetered my coil on the target, placed the point of the scoop at the edge of the coil and dug. Got the target everytime, even though it was only junk stuff I dug up today 
Thanks to Gulf Hunter for all his help and advice, and Dig and others who recommended the Andersons straight shaft and diamond head scoop.
