That's good news if significant but I wonder how much difference 7 to nine inches would make. (I imagine nafex response might run along a gender line here). I imagine that torque would decrease exponentially with length, but I haven't had much experience with this. It would make an easy experiment with a spring scale. Any volunteers?
