Prym Crochet Hook-Size P16/11.5mm

I purchased a Prym "ergonomic" crochet hook a few months ago when my two (other brand) ergonomic hooks went into hiding. Thankfully, the lost hooks reappeared a few weeks later. The Prym hook is about an inch longer than the others and I do not find it to be ergonomic. The added length is in the shaft rather than the handle, so that I cannot easily reach the hook with my index finger, so my hand creeps forward every time I make a stitch and I soon find myself partly gripping the base of the shaft and partly the nice soft rubber handle. If my hands were larger and less arthritic this might not be a problem. I will probably keep the hook for emergencies, but not for regular use. I do like the bright color (harder to lose) and the shape of the tip of the hook. I would love the hook if the shaft could be an inch shorter.
