The handle padding stinks (to I suppose that it is softening) abnormal. The smell on the palms is so strong that you can smell him for several meters! After 20 minutes of training I need 3-4x wash your hands so that the smell will disappear me. And even then, there remains a slightly unpleasant, chemical smell when you smell directly to the palm.
The device I would otherwise give 5 stars, but the material deserves maximum 1 star.
