GRIdesignworks 2010 kendo practice dummy.

We are interested in feedback to perfect our 2010 kendo practice dummy ! - We intend to unvail a stainless steel and wood version with minimal padding (only at strikepoints) designed for art,as well as kendo practice at the same time. The stainless steel practice dummy will not be for everyone but collectors of both art in steel and wood, as well as serious practioners of kendo will enjoy the one at a time construction (not mass produced) and the lifelong durability of the stainless and wood model.
   We would appreciate any feedback from those who own the 2008 model or have seen it used so that we might improve it. We are toying with the idea of a rotating dummy that would allow for follow through when training.
   We also offer a stainless steel shinai,...why ? ...because it is heavy. practice with a stainless steel shinai that weighs 8 pounds and your competition shinai will feel like a pencil. We offer this to collectors and those who really enjoy the style and craftsmanship of stainless.
   Please feel free to look for us on YOUTUBE , look for GRIdesignworks 2010 kendo practice dummy.
