ProForce Plastic Training Safety SAIS

The reason I gave this 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 is the price. I purchased it for around $25, which is not too bad, but later I found out that almost an identical item is available on Amazon for half the price. I purchased the lower priced one and returned the original. I got refunded the same day, but had to pay the $3.99 for shipping, which is totally fair. I felt bad that I returned a good item for $10 price difference, but I wanted them to be more competitive about prices.Other than the price, I would give it a 4 star. The sais are good quality and pretty rigid (not floppy at all). However, they are somewhat light. Both together weight only 166 gm = 5.9 Oz. The only issue I had with it was that the prongs (yoku) were too close to one another. You cannot do some spinning moves, unless your hands are very small (child size). I purchased the largest 20" size, and my hands are medium size if not small, and I can't do the spinning around the hands with this.The only reason you would want to pay the higher price for these is that this offer comes with three sizes (12.5", 16", and 20") and three colors (black, red, and blue). The cheaper option has only black and only two sizes (small and large). So you have more flexibility here.Here are the dimensions of the large 20" sai (it's actually a little shorter):Total length: 19.5"handle (Tsuka): 5.5"shaft (Monouchi): 14"distance between prongs: 3.5" at the narrowest and 4.5" at the widest partweight: 83 grams each (2.9 Oz).The cheaper offer is slightly larger, 20", and is slightly thicker and heaver, at 111 gm (3.9 Oz) each.

Broke the first day of use. Extremely brittle to any sort of flexing at all. Do not buy this garbage. Spend a few extra dollars and get metal ones.

The only thing I don't like is that the prongs are not completely straight.

Don’t waste your money on these things. They’re not polypropylene, they’re hard plastic. Not straight, only 19” in total length. I’d be okay if they were half the price but at $25 they are not worth it.
