Something to save your grip

[mjb Mike]

After detecting for 5 to 6 hours my hand would hurt and grip was so bad hard to hold on to the machine so I spent about an hour making this it helps a lot you can swing with very little to no grip on the handle it’s my first attempt need to make a few changes and tweak it some but really helps video is coming

That’s a good idea. Now if I can find something similar for my back! I can only swing 1/2 hr before the pain is too much.😢

I wonder if you can get a new (or refurbished) one on Amazon...?

Have you tried wearing a back brace? I have one that stretches across my back, and uses a
velcro type closure in the front.

Here's a product that will make any detector weightless.
Doc's Dalas Rod/Harnes

I'm not affiliated with Doc's company, he just a forum friend that makes great products.

Nice work. It reminds me of a copper fit wrist brace. There's probably only one kid on you tube that says he can swing all day long. Not the rest of us ! We all have our little pains , blisters , bugs whatever and innovation like that keeps us going. Thanks for sharing.

There was a time (long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away) when my hunting partner and I would
start in the morning and hunt until sunset...and that's in the long Summer days of the
Pac NW. Swinging that CZ-6A for so many hours did get a bit tiresome, but after a few months of it
my right forearm got pretty buff...right up there with Steve Garvey (who many of you never heard of..lol).

Today? Haven't been out in a while (need a new machine) but I'd probably be good for (maybe) a couple hours
before the back and legs gave out.
