Xenios USA Tacfit Clubbells VSSTCB20 20 kg

This is my favourite Xenios club. It gains an extra star over its smaller siblings, as I think it is THE best 20kg club available in the UK right now. Yes, they're more expensive than others available here, but not as expensive as importing the RMAX/CST clubs from the US (which are probably the best in the world). I tried three or four European cast iron 20kg clubs (Gorilla Sports, Hastings, Capital Sports), and all were rubbish - too short for the weight, pommels way too large, unbalanced... eventually I just gave in and ponied up for this one. Glad I did. Comments below cover all the Xenios clubs I've ordered from Amazon:The good:The 12kg, 15kg and 20kg all have nice beefy handles, with a good grip for two-handed work. The 5kg, 7kg and 10kg, all have quite quite slender handles, which is good for single handed work. Can be a negative though (see below).The weights are spot on. Perfect.Excellently machined from good hard steel. Yet to put a single dent in one (and it really looks like I've tried!)Nice knurling. There is a popular blog post about these, claiming the grip causes the club to fly from your hands randomly. 1000s of swings in, I have yet to have this happen. Maybe it's a problem for those with sweatier hands than mine.Rubber pommel doesn't dig into your wrist like most european cast-iron pommels, yet provides enough support.Longer than most of the EU available clubs, so more torque... more torque equals more force, more effort, more exercise!The bad:Expensive, but built to last.The paint is weak. Weak, weak, weak. Fine if you like the gnarly, worn-in look, but if you like pristine clean things, be careful with them.The handles on the 5kg, 7kg and 10kg are thin. I have large hands, and find them just a shade too thin for long sessions. This has prompted me to work up to using the 12kg as my single hand weight, so maybe that's Xenios' crafty motivational plan!All in all, worth it if you want to take clubbelling seriously, but if you just want one to augment other work or test the water then BodyRip's long cast iron ones are probably more cost-effective.
