Hi All, I'm thinking of buying a Nokta-velox-one upper shaft for my 5000. These shafts look extremely comfortable to swing. Anybody tried one of these? Cheers, Hermann.
Yes Grubstake, that's the one.I got the idea a year or so ago from an American forum. I might get my original Minelab shaft bent similar to this one if that is possible and the shaft does not crack. I just have to find someone who can bend it for me.
You could get one of these: https://www.marybroughgoldcentre.com.au/products/s-bend-shaft
Be easier than trying to bend your straight shaft?
If you still wanted to use a handle rather than grip via the "S" bend then you may need to add a little length to the shaft where the control box mounts which would be easily enough done.
