That's a big difference. If you swept slower on Reactivity 2 or 1 would it pick up the coins at all? I guess I'm wondering if sweep speed is a factor on the lower levels.

I dunno. That's a good question...
Think I might try it and see. I don't sweep that fast anyway, not like the dude in the video.

But if sweep speed doesn't affect it, I wonder just how much I have missed. Because up until now, I've never gone beyond 2, due to the depth loss.

But I notice that on the stock Deus Fast program, reactivity is set at 3. This might be why...

my iron programs are all in 3 you can still hit a coin at 7 or 8 in. The video I posted is with a reactivity on 3 will sift the iron you guys are missing goodies if your in any iron or trash.

That's what I was afraid of. Looks like I might need to go hit a few spots one more time with some new settings...

From what I've seen when watching various videos, especially Gary's, is that the sweep speed on the Deus is an important equation along with Reactivity, Silenccer, Disc and Ground Balance...

I use full tones zero discrim 86 sens tx1 no notch ,no disc, audio on 3 12kh this is one mean iron-trash program! You are right about the swing speed it has to match the reactivity or it wont hit the target as hard. you dont have to swing like a madman when on 3 but it needs to be a confident swing.

That does sound like an iron killer there calabash! Do you run any iron audio with that setup?

Disregard my iron audio question. I forgot that it doesn't matter with full tones.
