[QUOTE="Aaron2, post: 1007837, member: 1436"] I'll make my statement one last time. If made reasonably, a three pound sword feels exactly how a three pound sword is supposed to feel. The only way it would feel "heavy" for its size is if you were used to dealing with weapons that were balanced differently. For example, a baseball bat is balanced such that most of its weight is far up from the grip. I am expecting this so it doesn't feel heavy. When I'm at the plate waiting for a pitch, I hold the bat almost perpendicular to the ground such that I don't have to fight the weight distribution much. This is similar to a roof guard or, IIRC, the hasso stance. Now, if I were playing tennis, I wait for the serve with the racket almost parrallel to the ground. If I held a baseball bat like a tennis racket, the bat would feel heavy and unbalanced, but that is because I am not using it correctly. Weapon and fighting style go hand-in-hand. Aaron [/QUOTE]
