i have five pair of u swivels and two pair of the old awma ball bearing nunchaku,i never mess with the awma chucks because they're extremly hard to find and i'd hate to damage them.i'm looking for advice on newer made ball bearing nunchaku,i know most of them are crappy but they're has to be a company that sells decent ones,i refuse to pay $160+ for two pair of woodalls,i have a pair of woodalls u swivel nunchaku and they're quality is amazing but i'm looking for something that i can use and abuse that won't break the bank,if anyone can help me out please let me know.

also, if anyone has an older pair of ball bearing chucks they would be interested in selling let me know.

me and my friend are experimenting on using a sealed-bearing(skateboard bearing) for ball bearing chux. I really love BB chux handling but it breaks very easily on me on extensive use. its quite a workshop work but it think if ever we made it possible, we can send them by bulk(T-sealed-bearing for replacement of regular bb chux), but this is not yet on production, just experiments first.

I've kinda been reviving old posts tonight, if you are still looking, here is an older looking pair on eBay right now:

awesome! glad i could help...... apparently on ebay you can get away with selling nunchaku by only listing them as nunchucks!
