1m60, I already have a phantasm initiate v2 with 2 24" blades and I feel really good with it  (already spin it and fight with a friend) 160cm / 2.54(cm/in) = 63".....WOW. I would recommend as little length as possible. Go for Initiate length hilts (9") and 24" blades. |

Yes you are right but apprentice or initiate... really hard for the v5, I love the claws but I'm worried about them : will it be comfortable ? Anyway I love my little sabers 160cm / 2.54(cm/in) = 63".....WOW. I would recommend as little length as possible. Go for Initiate length hilts (9") and 24" blades.

Anyway I love my little sabers When I say "Initiate length" I'm referring to the general length of an Initiate, which is identical to that of the Apprentice. 9" I don't imagine anyone gripping a staff at the emitter. So if you use a two-handed staff grip, put your pinkies just past the switches, and you won't run into the claws. However practice will allow you to see what is comfortable and what is not. |

Ho I understood, sorry it's hard to speak English for me, so I try to use words I know ^^ When I spin my staff for fun, I usually take it near the middle, but during a duel, I'm close to the blade for more control, but it's instinctive, don't really think. But you are right, I take my initiate v2 on the groves just above the switch, so the claws could be good ! When I say "Initiate length" I'm referring to the general length of an Initiate, which is identical to that of the Apprentice. 9"

I love the v5 designs, they are amazing, the only complaint I have is that the pommels just have holes at the bottom, if there was something that could be screwed into this bottom like a coupler or another pommel they'd be all the more amazing. If this is already possible then ignore me. However I am definitely going to get at least one of the V5's

Do not worry, you are not alone. The open pommel is my only visual complaint. |

They are still in the protype phase they could add a feature to allow a coupler to be slid/screwed in there. |

Or they could resign the pommel so it has vents. (Being very optimistic) |

I'm impressed. Definitely need an Apprentice LE v5 sometime. Maybe two of them to make a staff.

Grenade grips on the Aeon and Initiate...so cool. I was asked if the Obsidian board does a fade on/off, ramping power on/off now...I wasn't really seeing it, but said I'd ask. Excellent stuff Deep. Loving it.  |

You can change the pommel. They've got the usual MHS compatible threading. I used to have an issue with those pommels. But, I decided to try one recently and they're not bad. |

Preordered a Dark Apprentice V5 w/diamond RGB-A.
Both versions of the Apprentice LE look fantastic. I hope that I can soon order BOTH.
Going to be difficult to wait till release.
