My favorite Shinai |

My sensei recommended that I switch to this shinai, he said it would help my kendo. It really has. The weight and balance make striking clean and clear. This shinai feels like a sword, I couldn't recommend it more.

The feel of this is very strong .I put my Shinai's thru alot of punishment and this has lasted thru it all .Very soild i believe and the ballance makes it seem very light in your hand .Like the other review tho it does take alot of control to handle this since its so easy to just let this fly .The leathers it comes in are good as well and its tied nicely as well ...could use a little improvment there but nothing at all to complain about .I mostly spar off with alot of my friends about 2 times a week and needless to say every one really loves how this Shinai .It also has a very rustic look to it as well .I don't really take class's for this nor am i in any schools .I have had a few black belts compliment me on this as well .Give it a chance ,i know i'll buy a few more .

Excellent Shinai |

This shinai has become my my personal favorite shinai. It has the speed of a dobari shinai with the stable balance of many of the chokuto shinai here on ebogu.

I got my shinai about 7 weeks ago. I loved the feel of it. It actually made kote and men strikes easier. If you do an exercise like "kiri-kaeshi" you'll find it a bit heavier. But if your style is pretty defensive and straight - go for this shinai. But remember to grind and oil it up, because before you know it, it will crack or show splinters. I didn't. Mine's just cracked. I mourn.

Excellent shinai |

I got this shinai a couple of days ago, and I had not had the chance to try it out at regular keiko, but I tryed to practice hitting a tsuka at home, and I did not notice that it was any harder to control than my last dobari shinai. I should point out that I am but a beginner, and I believe if I do not have a problem with control, no one with more skill than I should too. I also asked for an opinion a couple of my senior mates to try it out, and they did not find any problems in control. P.s. the tsuka is a bit wider than a regular shinai, and the 8cm tsuba does not fit on it, but the 9cm tsubas fit perfectly.
