Mine is usually on the forearm just below the elbow. I can last for hours in the water with the shaft extended, but on the sand, I usually retract the shaft to be more balanced.

Just lookin at a couple pics of Florida Bills new Excal and noticed his cuff is near the lower wrist area. Later in the post I see another pic with somebody else's cuff near the top of the shaft. Now I know it's mostly personal preference, but why do you wear you cuff were you do? performance? better accuracy? fatigue? Water vs sand? I'm curious.

I have a feeling mine is to high and since it is new and I haven't adjusted it I wouldn't go by my photo, I wanted to try it in the water but I have a feeling I will be moving it down....

Its a comfort thing. I wear mine upper forearm but not high enough where in doesn't bother my arm if I bend it. The shaft I like long for wide sweeps while I move forward slowly.

Now how come when ever I say things like this, does my 13 year old start cracking up?
