New Axe - Clacker Advice

Micah Nelson · Post by **Micah Nelson** » Sat Feb 27, 2010 1:51 pm

I've had some difficulty in the past w/ the standard foam and leather builds being able to get a "good" hit on heavily armored opponents and/or rhinos. I'm told a "clacker" can help fix this. So, here's my first attempt:

The head is the same old blue foam/leather sandwich, but I've added a 1/2 stick of rattan along the striking edge.

Comments? Suggestions? :idea:

Should work well.

Check your kingdom regs to make sure it is legal. Aside from that, should be fine.

I would sugest rounding the edge of rattan a bit more.

Which piece? The clacker's cross-section is a half-circle. It cant get any rounder.

Lets see if this works
The area circles could be rounded off a bit.
With hooking shots it can end up being a very small strike area.
