5 of 5 Extremely Satisfied - Would Recommend March 30, 2024
Reviewer: Y.H. from SF Bay Area, CA United States  
I am so glad that I am able to find thick grip shinai on ebogu.
My palm is around 8cm in width and I have been finding it a bit difficult to have a comfortable and stable grip with a standard chokuto 25-26mm grip shinai. It might not be due to my palm size but rather the shinai’s weight distribution.
After I received this shinai, I tried out some suburi and it felt so light! I felt that I was able to apply pressure using my left hand’s last 3 fingers better. When I switched back to my standard practice shinai for more suburi, I found that I am feeling more comfortable with my grip.

Excellent customer service! I left a note asking if they could help me trim the tsuka-gawa, as most shinai I bought has a tsuka length that is too long for me, and the two shinai I received have tsuka-gawa length as I have requested in my note. I am also very satisfied that the tsuba and tsuba-dome I purchased along with the shinai fit perfectly! Delivery was quick, received within 4 business days.

5 of 5 Great shinai for women! December 7, 2017
Reviewer: Kristopher Inting from Cainta, Rizal Philippines  
My wife fell in love with this shinai the moment it was taken out of the package. This was affirmed even more when she used it for the first time in keiko last night. She is definitely looking forward to getting more these in the future.

5 of 5 Love This Shinai September 17, 2015
Reviewer: nikkor_f64 from Ontario Canada  
I have long slender hands, and I find the extra thick handle gives me a much better grip than that of other Shinai.  The Bamboo is very nice and provides excellent feel.  The balance of the shinai also allows you to be quick with waza... Very happy with this Shinai!

4 of 5 Tokusen madake Shinai Size 39 Women February 3, 2014
Reviewer: Susan Zau from La Jolla, CA United States  
The handle can be just slightly narrower in diameter and the shenai breaks too easily near the nakayui.
