First its high quality,the shaft is strong and no flex with the 11 inch coil. The grip is at a little different angle got to get use to that ,I think its going to be primarily for my 11 and possibly a 13 when the fields get harvested. Balances good with the 9 ,I also changed the arm band kept working loose I put a velcro one on it much better imo. I like the straight shaft design it lets me keep my coil to the ground in a more level as I like to swing out away from myself. There is way more adjustment on the lower rod so you could let it out and get some great coverage on each sweep. Its a tad heavier but you can adjust the lenght way more so no wonder its a tad heavier. Would I buy one again yes, on a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 9, handle angle and arm strap being the reason for the point deduction. I would also give the Deus factory shaft a 9 too, the wobble when I extend the shaft out to 4.5 is the reason for the point deduction. OMT about the anderson shaft is the foam grip handle Im gonna wrap it with something because when I hunted yesterday it was a 100 and I sweated so much it became saturated with sweat and water logged my hand, not a big problem and would be no problem in the winter time. I took the remote mount off my deus shaft and put it on the anderson and used the screw from my deus shaft to secure it , its already pre drilled and ready to go. I ordered a new mount for my deus shaft on ebay. Any suggestions on what to wrap the grip with?
