First competition bell I've owned, and I'm glad I got it from Kettlebell Kings. The build quality, finish, and feel are all top notch. The handle is much grippier than I expected, but still rotates nicely on snatches and cleans. I picked up a 24kg bell. It is excellent for one-handed movements. The handle allows a bit less room for two-handed movements, like two-handed swings, but I am fine with using my heavier cast iron bell for such movements. The nice thing is that when doing cleans and snatches, the smaller handle space means that your hand generally stays in the same place on the handle, whereas it can sometimes shift around with cast iron bells. This competition bell is one of those things that you just have to try to understand how different it feels from cast iron bells. Definitely very balanced and has a great feel when in the racked position. Looking forward to collecting many more! If you are on the fence, just go for it! This thing will last a lifetime.
