Fit and sizing is everything with Oxbows (puppyhammers :P )
If it's too long, the hammer hits the ground. If it's too short, the poi are virtually unusable.
The LanternSmith Oxbow Kit is designed to make sizing quick and simple, as well as providing easy adjustability for future tweaks. All you need is a screwdriver.
The Kit:
• 4 adjustable NodePills.
• 10 feet of Smithy Rope.
• 2 low-profile V2 "Softie" Ovo heads;
• The option of Coreless or Cartridge-based mass inserts that allow for easy adjustability in length and weight (125g thru 250g per side)
• Specifiable color for each node, head, and the tether.
The Ovo Head System (New V2 "Softie" Variant - Cartridge & Coreless Options)
• Made with our new V2 Ovo silicone for improved durability and softer impacts.
• Small - 2 inches (50mm) diameter X 4 inches (100mm) long. Optimal fit in the hands for dart and rope modes.
• Coreless heads are much softer (less painful) than Cartridge heads, and are adjustable by weight up to 170g - a very popular mass that Lanternsmith has found to be the optimal balance of energy retention and control in all modes of play. The Cartridge heads are harder (more painful) and are adjustable by weight from where the Coreless design stops, 170g, up to 230g, which is useful for simulating the mass of fire-hammers
• Optimized for aerodynamics in high-speed modes of play: Dart/clock/meteor/contact styles; Less energy required to keep the hammer gliding/coasting.
The Rope:
.25 inch (6.5mm) 12-strand braided Smithy rope for poi, darts, hammers, etc.
This rope is specifically designed for an optimal compromise between feel, aerodynamics, customizability/adjustability, color selection (10 vivid colors), and all-round playability. It has good abrasion and UV/sunlight resistance; it won't shrink, has low-stretch properties, and high breaking strength.
It can be cut normally, and the ends may be melted to prevent fraying.
