A real beauty |

I am a true beginner and have used this shinai for about 6 months, now. The thicker grip is great, the handling is very light, and the darker, treated bamboo is simply elegant and durable. I am very satisfied with it. Unfortunately after using this one for about 6 months I got my first splinter. Consider that a beginner (well, at least me) hits really hard the men in the mengane, so I truely believe that my shinai endured really well. Now I'm ordering two backup shinai of the same model. Greetings to all from Brazil.

MY FAVOURITE |

I will begin by saying that I have a Carbon Shinai, even thought I like it, I still truly like the feel of this particular shinai, I have had only two style shinais, the very first basic one that I purchased, then a friend introduced me to this style shinai by kindly giving me one, then I have only purchased this style replacement since. It just feels RIGHT in my hands. I have two of these at all times and my CARBON shinai is the back third back up.

Light Feel. |

I'm 5'4 approxmately 125lbs. I bought this as my Second shinai, and I Had my first practise today with it. It has somewhat of a light feel to it. very durable, and what can I say, I'm more than satisfied, but..the only thing i'd say is, I have small hands, and the handle is a bit thick, lol but if you get used to it, that shouldnt be a problem. Hope this helps.

Like the Mino, this Kai Dobari Shinai is superbly crafted but has a lighter feel to it. The tip feels lighter so I feel like I am able to move it faster. Great value for money. (Looks great too).
So nice I bought another one as a backup.

Excellent Shinai for Practice and Competition |

I have been using this shinai for over a year now and, from the start, I found the balance to be perfect for me.
None of the slats have splintered at all and it still looks fairly new... a very hard-wearing, solid practice and competition shinai... hmmm... I must order a spare...!
...added 25/12/2006... I have just received my new Kai shinai and the build qulaity is identical to my existing one... which is still in pretty much pristine condition!!! Excellent !!!
