I use an ultimate coil in my etrac..
I did borrow the 18"x15" from badger but was too big i kept either kicking it or nearly standing on it and it kept picking up the eylets on my boots lol
Then suffered with tennis elbow so went for ultimate and its soooo light :-)

   Thats a very kind offer from you Mike.  I've already purchased one and waiting for delivery.  If I dont get on with it I shouldnt lose too much on it as it was a good (I think) price.
   thanks all the same budd, very kind of you.
        Shaun.

not much advantage over a 13 iMO.

i took a machine down to joan allens to compare all sizes and 13 came best ,bigger sizes were actually worse on depth doing in air tests ,but of course you get more coverage per swing
