When I say physical connection, I mean being right there at the target vs. the electronic receiver which more from a distance. L-rods have NEVER been easy for me. It's one thing to find a planted/hidden target in your yard, but out in the field the "yard" is many square km. Not so easy all-of-a-sudden. My very limited time with an electronic receiver out in the field is similar results--it's not like shooting ducks in a barrel. But on the other side, there can be less distrubance from trash or electronic devices (which mostly are not much of a concern...until it happens to you. LOL) BTW, I suspect most people are just not sensitive enough to use L-rods. It's really nothing to do with arm muscle strength as long as you can hold up the rods, but people with stronger ams usually can hold the rods more stable without much effort. So yes, it is nice to be able to hold the rods very stable without the "white knuckle" death grip. Years ago I recall someone saying "like holding a bird in your hands".
