Troy X2 Super 7 vs Tesoro uMax 7" Concentric Coil
- Thread starter morelic1955

The X2 coil has a thinner profile, it's black in color and has a different decal
. Seriously, the transmit windings may be a little larger in diameter (maybe placed closer to the edge of the coil) than the standard 7 inch Tesoro coil as the "Super 7" seems to have a little larger footprint and a tad more depth, but I think the biggest reason they are sought after is the hype that surrounded them when the X2 was released. The X2 coils were proclaimed to be reverse wound and therefore capable of better performance than a coil with conventional windings, but Troy Galloway told me on the phone and Jack Gifford told Jay Sims, that the X2 coils were conventionally wound Tesoro coils in black housings. That reverse wound BS was nonsense, even if it could be made work it would result in decreased performance, but it sold a lot of X2's and Shadow coils and some still believe it. Having said all that, I have to admit I prefer the thinner profile "Super 7" X2 coil and have one on my Golden

I don't have the 7" Troy coil in my aresenal, but do use the 7" Tesoro quite often, both the concentric and the widescan. I've had good results with both and especially like the concentric for coin shooting in parks. My two bits.

Probably not a lot as the Tesoro originals aren't very heavy in the first place. I enjoy swinging them.
