So you actually understood what was on that webpage? Unfortunately, Google doesn't translate the text on the buttons.
Seems like a better idea to wait until my friend goes there on holiday next summer, then he can scour the nunchaku market for me. :-D

Specific... no, atomic mass... yes.   j/k

Using my "very reliable and highly accurate" bathroom scale, they weighed in at 1 pound, but I estimate a little more.

Those puppies want to fly out of your hands on every move, and if that happened they would surely destroy anything in their path... even Matt-Chez.

ive tried ones like these before, they were metal,slightly diffrent design with a deeper ridge, and i gotta say, they are a bit too heavy for me (freestyle wise), but really good for strikes, they smash through anything smashable basically!   aerial's are pretty deadly though, wouldnt use them for freestyle at all.

Nunchucka mutha fucka.
Like my Post? so does your mother,

i recently (Thursday) tried out some u swivels steel chucks, however i found them relatively stiff compared to ball race, may only be expected or they may have been poorly kept (that said they were first hand on sale) while they may last longer i don't find them fluid enough, but it may just be a matter of opinion.

dont know what others think about fluidity of u swivels, does anyone regularly use them along with other swivel types for an accurate comparison's?
