Main shinai for multiple years now
I already left a review for these in the single shinai section. This is an update in the bundle section, as I ordered this set several times now. I've been using these thick-grip shinai for more than two years now mostly for everything: normal keiko and shiai, too. The bamboo is very good quality, the tsukagawa feels excellent. I used them with shortened tsukagawa, too. They have a very comfortable balance and the thick grip makes is nice for large hands (I have longer-than-average fingers). I sometimes also use normal grip shinai when traveling abroad, but came to prefer these a lot. For reference, I'm currently 2nd dan with 4 years of kendo experience.

Daito Shinai
I ordered a set of these specially shortened to use as daito shinai in nito.
I was very pleased both with the service and the product. It is always difficult to find a daito that has a good size grip, many are too small, this was good. Also the weight and balance made it easy to use one handed.

Well constructed and balanced Shinai
The Shinai complies with all that was said in the description. Due to it's balance, it somehow feels a lot lighter than the normal training Shinai.
My personal wish would be to add another 5mm to the circumference in order to accommodate even larger hands and call it an Extra Large Grip ;-)

Very good choice
Very good shinai, well balanced and good quality materials. The dobari features and thicker grip (28 mm) make it comfortable to handle if you have large hands, and striking feels easier and more precise. I've just started using this shinai, and I think I will use it regularly.
