Polpropylene Sword Trainer Alternative question.
« on: 2014-12-29, 05:31:43 »
Anyone got to play with these yet? Someone on the The HEMA Alliance recommended them over the Cold Steel ones, and the price is nice for basic trainers. What are your thoughts?

I haven't tried them, but considering how terrible the Cold Steel ones are, it probably doesn't take much to beat them. :)  (As an aside, for someone so new to the sword arts that they don't know if they'll stick with it or not, the Cold Steel trainers are a good choice because they're so darn cheap).

So far my favorite synthetic is the Purple Heart Type III.
