So would this pommel make the saber feel heavy at all or pommel area heavy? The pommels I'm wanting are out of stock or not sold regularly, say I'm wanting a Dark Liberator pommel because I tested it out on my Dominix V4 LE saber, works, and looks good as well with the extra silver accents on the pommel area. But I was concerned if the Shock pommel would throw the balance off or make the saber seem bottom heavy. Thanks for any info and any pics would help as well =]

Kind of funny you just brought that up because I'm trying to decide on a Stunt Saber Staff, and i was considering that hilt with at least one of them using that pommel when not combined.
So I was wondering the same exact things about the combo.

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

I can't speak to the whole hilt configuration, but I will say that the shock pommel is fairly heavy.

Hi Zren. Aside from the added weight from a Shock pommel, you will be creating a significantly longer saber as the pommel length is 1.7". You like to use two hands and up to a 36" blade if my memory serves correctly. This might not be an issue. As much as I like and promote Shock pommels these ones at 1.1" may both look and serve better on a dark Sentiinel LE. My favorite is Raven SS and then Consular and Bellicose short grooves. The Shock or dark version pommels look better with the dark v4 Initiate and Dominix. Just my opinion of course.  |

Well I was gonna get a Dark Liberator pommel but that's not sold regularly so yeah. I already have my one Shock so I know how it feels on that saber but not a Sentinel yet. Maybe I'll try it out on my Dominix since its basically the same just different shape

So I tested it out on my Dominix V4 and I think the Shock pommel will look good on the Sentinel so here's an idea of what one would look like but picture the Dark Shock pommel basically. Does give some heft but not too much and is still easy to spin with as well. Taken with my phone so yeah. Hope this helps anyone wondering what either a Dominix or Sentinel saber would look like with either Shock pommels =]  |

I recently saw an Apprentice LE with a Shock LE pommel and have to admit that it looked just as good as on the v4 Initiate. Especially with the pale gold grooves. I like the plain version you have shown on your Dominix but the dark Shock LE pommel would look even better. There will likely be a minor variation in the anodized black shade from hilt to pommel. Was concerned that there would be silver grooves overload on the dark Sentinel LE. Thanks for sharing. |

Yup. I may have to get me another regular Shock pommel just for this saber. It contrasts with the silver top emitter really good I think
