Sweet! Hey what was that sound she had at the first of her review? Where did you find it? Love it!

Love the sound fonts you added to the Fulcrum and good idea about adding the red color disc as a replacement for your Flash on Clash. The Violet Amethyst is really striking on the saber which is another good choice. Bummer that the batteries died on the saber during filming. I also added a 32" blade to go along with the Fulcrum. I think it rounds out the entire look of the saber.

The Fulcrum is a great saber to play around with and I look forward to trooping out with mine in the near future. My Fulcrum sits on my mantle at home as a great display piece and everyone that comes over wants to pick it up.

You will definitely love the Lost Grey when you get one. I just ordered a stunt saber of the Lost Grey to accompany my other Lost Grey. I really like the design of the Lost Grey and it is a very comfortable saber to handle.

Liking the BB-8 droid too. Very cool and great review. Point to you for the share.

Kaitlin (did I spell that right?) did a great job on the review! That "new bike" comparison perfectly describes how it feels every time I think for all of us when we receive a new order from Ultra Sabers. I liked that she not only talked about the Obsidian launcher software being easy to use but demonstrated her success with it by cycling through the sound fonts she had loaded, which, I might add, were pretty cool choices for that saber.  ;) I need to go check those out.  ::)

That was a great idea talking about the MHS compatible pommel. Very informative, and her enthusiasm and poise just set a really great example of how to do an effective review. Nicely done. Congratulations to you on a great gift given (loved that you made it a scavenger hunt - how fun!) and to her for getting an awesome Ultra Saber for Christmas!

Point incoming.

Definitly appreciated her perspective concerning how the Fulcrum handled compared to how tall she is and how the grip is compared to her hand size. Well done and really helpful . . . plus how pumped she is to own the Fulcrum is just awesome  :D

Hello, Caitlyn! I see you joined in October. Welcome back! Here's a point to you for the great video  :)  I have the Fulcrum and Lost Gray, and they really are a great set. I hope you get to order your Lost Gray soon, too.  :D

You mentioned all the great features I love about the Fulcrum, especially that the size of the Fulcrum wasn't really an issue for ya. I've found that to be true as well - feels great to wield in reverse handed mode with that tapered choke point near the pommel.

Happy sabering and hope you share more insight and reviews here in the future. Welcome to the forum.

Well Caitlyn, when I first saw this saber, I totally wanted it, but when I started to figure out how big and heavy the saber actually is, I decided that it wasn't very high on my wishlist anymore. Your review has just changed my opinion. I now want it more than ever. Great review, and thank you for making it.

Also, welcome to the forums.

Excellent video, Caitlyn. The lighting and sound are great, and your spinning is very impressive. Very fluid motion - you make it look so easy  :D. That's still something I have yet to be able to do. A resolution for 2017 I suppose. I liked the demo on the sound fonts. Don't see that too often, and I think it's a powerful feature that is often overlooked in other reviews, so well done especially the point you made that you can enjoy music while spinning. It really shows off the capabilities of the Obsidian sound board, especially for those who watch this that may not know much about it.

You definitely get another point for that! Have a great New Years eve.  :)

Lord Bladewraith thank you for the comment i can do a complete brake down of the spin to help with your new years resolution. It looks super complicated but once it's simplified into steps it's very easy to learn. Reply if yes and I'll upload it tonight.

Well done again Rhett (reconmarine) and Caitlyn (Aries4) for the update on the Fulcrum. The cat sound font made my laugh. Very cool.

Thank you, Caitlyn. I appreciate this so much. I've previewed it and wow! now I can't wait to watch it in its entirety and start learning to spin like you so fluidly and expertly demonstrated ::)  Hope you've had a great New Year's eve. Happy 2017 to you, too.

+1 tonight and another +1 tomorrow morning  :)

Happy New Year, once you learn it you have to post a video and show your awesome skills! Thanks for the points. And random question what do the points do? lol. Reconmarine will be posting his review on his birthday gift and he has a shout out for you.

Looking forward to getting good enough for that. ::) Thanks again for the help. I watched your video all the way through and really liked how well organized and well thought out it was. I especially liked the part where you shared your own personal challenges learning the Obi Ani and the Lotus and that you made them your own by customizing them a bit further with additional spins.Those double moves are impressive already. Your practice is paying off.

The points are to show appreciation to other forum members when they post something you think was helpful or cool. You rank here in the forums will go up as you get more points and you'll see that change under your forum name on the left. They're purely for the benefit of making each other feel good and it's fun to see yourself increase in rank as you make more contributions here.

I'll keep an eye out for Rhett's video. Shout out, eh... That's really cool of him.  :)

Happy First Day of 2017 and thanks again!

Thanks Rhett and Caitlyn for the share of your lightsaber spinning tutorial. Great job you guys and a point each to you.

My buddy and I go out at times and to do a little night training with our sabers. Seeing your tutorial has given me a reason to go out again and practice.  :)
