I like my 34" 18 oz sword. Seems to do the trick for me. Enough length to get the job done, and enough weight to hit hard enough without having to crank my whole body into it.

I usually like 38"-40"
That club was around 20oz or so, at least according to the scale the WPO checker had

And you said you used 3/8" fiberglass? Is it flexing out now that you used it there?

Depends....By the rules you test flex from the beginning of the handle. TECHNICALLY the handle on a club extends up to the passing incidental padding. If you test it at that point it passes flex. If you consider the handle as where the rope ends and test it there it would fail

and now we know why Kaldor (or the other unspoken of brother) used square cores for the boom sticks, cause it has little more fiberglass fat on them to not bend more. (extra strength for them) Notice this with the two different booms sticks in my possessions.

Flex should be tested from the handle. Courtesy padding is courtesy padding, not handle...
I didnt really look at it for flex, but i cant imagine 3/8 round fg passing for flex on something at that length/weight.
I dont remember kalador ever using square cores, but he did take bigger round cores and sand/shave them down sometimes.

he shaved them down to square, course its to one owns view (and that be mine), so I might be wrong, but don't mean it be a tad stronger than your usual core. (Got one of the originals here in my house), but it do flex none the less, I need another person to judge it from what Porno's built to one he built (from another's perspective).

Problem is that courtesy padding doesnt pass for courtesy padding..thus making it handle. Or so the arguement has been given to me.
Kodo those other maces are short enough that they would pass fine.
I saw a website that dealt square cores. Ill see if I can find it again. It would be worth it I assume
