I’ve been looking for a plate-loaded club, but metal ones a very expensive. This is much more affordable.
The wood handle is surprisingly nice to work with. I find I don’t need chalk, even on days I do need it with kettlebells.
Compared to a standard club, the center of mass is much further from the hands. This makes the club have a nice backswing on the 360/shield-cast, more like a mace. It also makes pullovers rather harder, both in getting them started and catching them.
Given the length, I’m not sure I could use a 10 lbs plate without hitting my back. Even the 5 lbs is wider than a standard club, and required a change in technique.
