I agree it looks heavy and balanced.

I couldn't imagine swinging that for any length of time.

Having read the specks on the CTX I found the weight to be just slightly heavier then the E-Trac. It appears the weight is under the arm rest in the battery area. I know the E-trac is just a little heavy for my back, So it makes me wander about the CTX. I guess I'd have to try one to tell for sure. Rick IL.

Can't tell for sure from the picture, but is the shaft perforated [to make it lighter], or is that some design on it? If it is perforated, I'll bet you that detector will be whistling up a storm on a windy day!

 

[Sailorman]

No, it's not perforated.

Carbon fiber I believe.
