I press tsuba against the rack on each of the blades. You can see some subtle differences between the blades. The sum of the differences add up to a different balance. The first Bamboo Mat I got was "the one" for me and I wanted a copy of "the one" but I guess I will have to keep trying.[/quote]

The first one appears to have a shorter tsuka :?:

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
