[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 581266, member: 4485"] As far as I know the Minelab stock upper GPX shaft is still metal? Never seen one stock that isn't. My 4500 is the new model & came with metal upper. I do use a Sandy Shaft composite upper now but can't confirm that it's any better for depth? As the shaft moves with the coil in normal circumstances it shouldn't have much, if any, detrimental effect but many believe that it does? Personally I'm not sure? If that were the case then your control box, arm cuff & metal screws in the handle etc. would all need to be removed. Slightly lower weight & a lot better lock nut system are my main pluses for the Sandy Shaft. [/QUOTE]
