Competition Lightsaber - Model Elemental

Overall it is a nice looking saber but there are issues with using it on a competition basis in myself and my clubs opinions. The saber is just too heavy and too long for proper usage and makes it fairly difficult to use in a lot of different forms. If shorter blades were available it would remedy the problem. The extra layer of pvc over the top of the blade is not very appealing and a bit unnecessary for stopping caps from coming off. The hand guard is quite effective but just a little bit too thick. The pommel for the saber is quite pointed so isn't legal for use in our class. Overall I love the look of the hilt itself but it's more a collector price now rather than a dueling piece.
