A solution to the "squishy" grib
Take some leather cord and tie it around the grib tightly.

Very good product from Calimacil. Highly recommended for those swinging
swords like clubs and low priced to boot. The grip is too squishy and hard
to hold on to but they head has quite a bit of give so you can really lace in to
your opponent. (we tend to go hard) (Posted on 10/4/10)

This mace is incredible. The detail on the handle is amazing. The size of the striking suface might look small, but it works very well and allows for a good weight. The only isuue I have with it is that, because it is a 32" weapon, it has a fiberglass core. The weapon is a mace, and is heavier than the swords of the same size, and the core rattles around just a tiny bit when I strike. It's not enough to be a problem in any way, but it can be a little annoying at times ( then again it rattles a heck of a lot less than my home-made weapons). Overall, this weapon is fantastic and is a great buy! (Posted on 6/24/10)

The only word to describe this weapon might just be "Dope". The detail on the shaft is epic, Another awesome weapon by calimacil, the only thing I didnt like was squishy the grip was when swinging, other than that, total Badassery! (Posted on 3/25/10)
