The Adaptable Club

Review for Adaptable Club

This is a very solidly built club with a nice knurled grip and knob. With weights loaded onto the end, it has a nice swinging feel. If you are into club swinging, investing into an adjustable one will allow you to progress at a safe pace - for example, load a small (2.5 or 5 lb) weight to safely start one handed swings. Usage of standard 2-inch plates is a bonus and you can find very cheap plates elsewhere. However, be careful of the diameter of other plates. In my experience, 9 inch diameters, common for 10 lb plates, may be too large for certain motions. The 8 inch diameter, 10 lb plate by House of Hercules may be a good fit in the long term. In terms of price, I’d say its pretty good because I like club swinging and having an adjustable club makes progress safer and faster. If you’re not sure whether you want to get into club swinging fully, it’s still cheaper to buy a single 10 or 15 lb club somewhere else just to try it out. If you’re in Canada, this may be the cheapest (and best) option. Shipping was fast.

Great product and exceptional service

The Club itself is solidly built. Knurling on the handle is just right. The overall shape is spot on. Great value

Adaptable Club Review

I've been into weightlifting and fitness for over a decade, but only recently got into steel clubs and maces. I'd been using some fixed clubs at my gym, and decided I wanted an adjustable club for using at home. After a lot of research, I went with House of Hercules. No other company offered the combination of knurling, a good sized pommel, and the ability to use olympic plates. This allows access to a cheap source of weights, without being locked into an ecosystem, or slow weight changing via threaded rod. I really like how fast it is to change weights, especially since I use a Rogue USA quick release collar, which grips tightly enough to allow usage of 1 collar instead of 2 (this also increases loading space) I'm also a big fan of the gritty powedercoat and knurling, they're both great at preventing slippage. This is even better than any of the fixed clubs I've used. I use the 2.5lb CAP weight plates from amazon; they were cheap ($20 for 15lbs) and work fine. I can fit 40lbs on the club with room to spare, but don't need that much weight yet. I typically use 20lbs for single arm shield casts, and I'm progressing nicely there. Shipping was fast, and the club was very well protected in it's box. My only criticism is that the full sized mace doesn't have a pommel like the club does; I've used maces with and without, and really prefer the pommel. It makes the grip much more secure, and allows me to do non-mace leverage exercises comfortably. If the mace had a pommel, I'd have bought them both together. As is, I'm waiting for HoH to hopefully either offer a mace model with a pommel, or for another company to step in and fill this void in the market.
