These are excellent, me and my brother hold nothing back when we swing and we haven't had any sign of breaking yet!

A word of caution though, these are pretty hard so they DO HURT! If you swing hard you have to have a high tolerance for pain. With young people make sure you explain to them to not swing to hard with these or you'll more than likely have someone crying.

Their is a hard wooden core covered by about an inch and a half of Raquetball like Foam.

All in all very fun for the money and great excercise, but painful.

I bought these to use with my 11 y/o boy. We have had them for a few months and they have had at least 10 hours of total use and are still in perfect shape. We are not gentle with them, but are careful to only hit the other sword or our bodies...not walls, couch, counters, etc. They are very tough and I would recommend them to anyone. We have a lot of fun with them and it is a great way to burn energy.

I purchased the set of two of these a bit over a month ago. They were used once a week and one broke the fifth day it was used. The wood handle is very comfortable, but the inner pvc pipe is glued onto the top of the grip, and that is where the "tang" broke. The item can probably be repaired by replacing the pvc inner pipe with a wooden dowel. The weight is good, but the construction is faulty. So, nice idea, but poorly executed.
