Premium Extendable Chinese Taichi Stick with Free Luxury Red Tassel and PU Leather Bag

PhysCool is the best seller I have ever used. They answer all questions quickly, efficiently and are extremely informative. The quality of the sword is far superior to any I have ever had and tailor made to my height. It arrived in its case complete with beautiful tassel and cleaning cloth well packed and many weeks before expected. This seller does absolutely everything to please their customers and I have no hesitation in highly recommending them and their excellent products. I will certainly use them again

I’ve been looking for a replacement telescopic Tai Chi sword for several years. This one is solid and look good. The balance point is good. The tassle could have been longer, but I can fix that. It took a while to arrive, but overall I’m happy with my purchase.

In this video review I look at 3 retractable training swords and evaluate the best of each. Certainly the Physcool sword wins hands-down on pouches, tassels, hilts, smoothness and good modern looks. But is the extra price worth it? You'll have to watch the video - but one word of caution - stay off the cheapo swords, they fall apart.

Easy to open and close. I use it for personal practice.

It is highly finished, feels right, and could be a good addition to actual martial arts combat.

worth paying the extra!

This thing is surprisingly sturdy. I started with slamming it against my mattress as hard as I could then went outside and beat it against a tree and nothing bad happened. It took some scuff marks but nothing bent or rattled after. If I went as hard as I could and kept going I'm sure it would break, but it took three good whacks so I'm sure it'd handle some light sparring all day. It's made really well. I was worried the handle would just be a cylinder but it's a nice oval shape, the plastic handle fills the hand nicely. The sections of the blade are almost as thick as a butterknife, so the whole thing has some weight to it and it certainly doesn't feel flimsy. It feels premium, as much as a collapsible sword can. The tassle feels cheap, but it's just decoration you don't even have to attach. Unfortunately because of the nature of the pieces sliding against each other there are some small scuff marks where the shiny metal looks worn down, and no doubt there will only be more of those with more use but what's a sword without some battle damage right? Be careful when extending the blade. The instructions recommend just holding the handle and swinging it out. That's what I tried and it was nearly impossible to close it again. Those sections lock together VERY well. I had to stab it into the floor with all my weight to collapse it. You're better off letting it fall open then tugging on it to secure it open.

This sword is very sturdy; the weight, balance, and grip are excellent. The materials used aren't cheap, but the telescopic mechanism often gets stuck or closes unexpectedly. After the second day of use, the first and last segments were jammed. I managed to free them with WD-40. This worked very well. Afterward, I was very careful when opening the sword; I pulled on each segment by hand, one after the other, and did the same to close it. At present, I don't know if this will permanently solve the problem. One thing is certain: you absolutely must NOT try to open it by giving the handle a sharp blow and applying strong downward force; this will jam everything. Despite the positive aspects for the rest, the telescopic mechanism needs improvement, as there is a real problem. I didn't want to exchange this sword because of its other qualities, but I'll see with use if the problem is too significant in the future and will have to get another one.

Kann ich jedem fan , interessenten usw empfehlen ihr werdet es nicht bereuen

Just received my PhysCool Extendable Chinese Taichi Sword and these are my observations. Opening/extending the sword is smooth but closing is difficult (until now I cannot close the last farthest section of the sword). I'll leave it later when I reach home. But overall, it feels like a sturdy sword. Now I can review back my Taichi sword exercise.

Aunque la empuñadura podría mejorar su tacto y Obviamente, al ser plegable, el equilibrio no es perfecto, me ENCANTA esta espada por su peso, estética y la precisión de su despliegue y recogida. Cabe señalar la utilidad de las instrucciones para desplegarla y recogerla correctamente, ya que, acostumbrado a otras de peor calidad, seguramente la hubiera forzado sin las instrucciones. Considero que ha sido buena compra, adecuada en la relación Calidad/Precio.
