Title: Light Saber Torture Test Post by: Darth Tony on July 02, 2015, 09:28:16 PM Not sure if this counts as a review. A bunch of us got some ultra sabers fitted with heavy blades and sparred with one another. We intentionally hit as hard as we do when we fight with bamboo swords. The light sabers proved suitable for full contact sparring. Here's the video of the sparring and the "damage" incurred.

Unfortunately probably not usable for a saber review. What did you strike against to get that emitter rim damage ? Perhaps this is under warranty coverage if caused through normal heavy dueling. Nice to see that the HG blades held up to those powerful hits. Here's a well deserved dark side point. :)

The emitter was smashed against the pommel of another saber during a match. While this sort of thing happens in Kendo all the time, I doubt that it is part of normal saber dueling. We bought these sabers to be abused. One thing that I didn't mention is that the electronics and sound cards have also held up to the heavy hits.

I haven't seen many videos of Ultrasabers being used in actual, full-contact sparring like this, which is a pity. Would you prefer Light points or Dark points? :) Title: Re: Light Saber Torture Test Post by: Drahcir on July 03, 2015, 09:14:10 PM Definitely a good testament to how durable these things are.

Nice to hear the blades are holding up for you as well. We have found the heavy blades, while arguably SLIGHTLY dimmer (hard to tell in some cases), really do hold up extremely well, just check your retention screws are tight after fights and all seems to do well. We have found the electronics to hold up extremely well also, if you hear a slight rattle in our electronics a small piece of foam or some tape will keep things from moving and make it much safer for the electronics. Well done Keep up the good work! Cheers |
