White's TreasureMaster...not so impressed
I took my new TM out for the first time for roughly 4hrs today. First impression, it ain't all that fun to use. The heavy coil and cable makes the machine oddly balanced.....just doesn't feel right. The earphone jack being located on the right hand side is annoying...I didn't think it would be, but it is. I didn't notice the lack of tension knob being an issue...seemed sturdy, not shaky/loose feeling. The machine performed well enough, but it just wasn't fun to swing. I honestly believe I would have been better off buying another F2 like the wife's....now that's a fun machine to swing. I'm not kidding when I say, the cable used for that coil is ridiculous! It's like a damn jumper cable! Seriously, the machine feels all wrong to me.
Anyway, I'll keep whacking the grass tips and sand fleas with it until they offer a smaller coil...and cable. Or, maybe I'll bench it and swing my 6000di pro sl with 5.3 bullseye...it actually is more comfortable and balanced, and it shouldn't be!
FWIW...which is free.
Happy hunting
