I just heard from Sir Killian at practice today.
Technicall its not the beginning of the handle, flex is checked halfway up the striking surface. LOL. Worst case tho it should be a passing weapon. Whether it gets checked and incidental or striking surface. However if a checker tested it where it fails hes an idiot

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 Oh in that case it fails for not enough courtesy padding, in dag at least. Im more up to snuff on dag rules than bel tho, i think that one might be different. I would either grab it by the handle and wiggle it or grb by the handle and sTrike a shield edge at the second star with someone watching for flex. Either of those methods would almost certainly fail 3/8 fiberglass for flex. Are you calling me an idiot?

Nope but I think I figuired out the confusion. Im refering to hte BOW, not the MOA. Bel rules say it is supposed to be checked halfway up the striking surface. So at least I know the thing will pass for any bel event lol giggity

We did some with 1 layer of blue over funnoodle a few years back, but they sucked and failed badly. I don't have the materials to make speedbats and don't really care to acquire them.

According to PtQ, you basically cap a fun noodle and tape it with packing tape to the core only at the bottom in such a way that the top rattles around but has an air pocket. Or some such.

Fres, do you remember when Throp, broke my 5' long mace head, took it to the side, and started making it sound like a train engine while twisting it around enough off the core at Rag 2009?
(just reminded me of how I went about building mine but came apart in the end)

Pipe insulationis terrible to the point where the word terrible does not encapsulate its terribleness. Itll core out in a moderate hit ortwo, or on the first hard hit.
Only acceptable uses are jav shaft and low-impact courtesy padding, and blue foam is at least as good for both of those.

Oh and funnoodle is far from ideal, breaks down entirely too quickly (still slower than pipe insulation).

I prefer to stick a core through a few nerf footballs and put a tube sock over it.
