Just because we were talking about this:

That seems to be the best pole-arm waster that I've seen. Takes about 2-3 weeks for processing and shipping, but I plan on getting one if others want to try sparring with them using manual references.

I have been looking at the same sparing poleaxe (war hammer). Seems the price for shaped rubber is a bit high - around $100 for the 3-piece WMA rubber set without pole and roundel. I'm just leery that if I decide to get that setup now, the vendor may offer the same kit at a discount in the next few weeks.
