Well first the wood was bad, then there was nothing wrong with the wood - just the swivel and now the wood is once again bad.
Yes, for example if your Dolan u-swivel nunchaku wood was fractured, the wood would seem bad. And maybe the wood was bad, that was my impression 30 years ago. However, no matter how good or bad the wood was, the swivel can destroy the wood, that is a fact. As a person who purchases nunchaku, you do not want to take chances with a defective wood or design.
Exactly what kind of politician are you in real life?
Why, should I be one, or is that a insult lol.
And custom expensive nunchaku are superior to Dolan's production nunchaku why exactly? Custom just means limited production without the capacity for standardization. Making them one at a time doesn't necessarily mean they are better. That has more to do with the actual difference in price than anything else.
In any case, given my personal experience I'm going to say I disagree with your opinions and conclusions and leave it at that.
Why again? first, a custom made nunchaku today, is not as "expensive" with the general rise of prices since the 80's compared to Dolan $$$. If Dolans was still around today inflation would raise their production price with certain woods, unless they are using defective wood to beat a pushing inflation, in which may have been the case in the 80's, who knows.
Second, custom doesn't necessarily mean limited production, it could mean better than the standard, and not just for personal specification, a
customer's specification doesn't necessarily mean a rise in price too. The actual difference in price can be up to the customer, in which case is better than what Dolans had to offer, much better than just selecting wood choice. The wood and design of the u-swivel nunchaku was left with uncertainty and controversy, as there was a problem with them. I really can't understand how you couldn't have known about the cheap vibe back then, giving there is evidence about the defective u-swivel?
To each his own, I guess...
