I have a confession to make. I am only 5’6”, so I usually have my coil shafts adjusted so the coil is more strait down my arm close to my feet. It just feels comfortable to me. It also keeps my swings short and controlled.
With all of that said, I did the strait shaft conversion on my 340 not too long after I purchased it. Because I am not tall it works perfectly for me.
We have a threat of some snow Thursday night into Friday, but the rest of the weekend looks fine.
Hopefully you have some great weather to venture outside.
