I banged up my knee pretty badly one day trying to do renegade rows with PB bells due to the instability you mentioned.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514066489630633292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628101347853339953.post-85139997799584550892009-03-25T13:47:00.000-07:002009-03-25T13:47:00.000-07:00I've had my 24 kg ones for 2 years, no problem on ...I've had my 24 kg ones for 2 years, no problem on rust. my 32kg bell, I don't think was painted right.

Also my handles rusted and they were never even outdoors.

I learned on Adders...<BR/><BR/><BR/>I really like the PB ones, the vinyl coloring, and the rubber on the bottom. I know I can paint the DD, but just like the feel and run with the PB better. In fact I've been thinking of replacing my 16kg with PB. <BR/><BR/>However if I ever buy a beast (106lbs), it's going to be DD.Chris Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12969869698106366643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628101347853339953.post-11718630898121133082009-03-25T06:06:00.000-07:002009-03-25T06:06:00.000-07:00Mike,You will find the Dragon Door kettlebells to ...Mike,<BR/><BR/>You will find the Dragon Door kettlebells to be much more comfortable to work with.

Have used the AKC kettlebell, and it tore up my hands. Unpleasant.<BR/><BR/>I've tried the k2, not bad.

I'll let you know how I like it.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the new pricing on the dragon door still leaves them expensive but a lot closer to other kettlebells.Bud Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890564471631569204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628101347853339953.post-27816188749240865042009-03-24T18:08:00.000-07:002009-03-24T18:08:00.000-07:00Christian,Never tried the Apollo but the new prici...Christian,<BR/><BR/>Never tried the Apollo but the new pricing will probably get more folks into Dragon Door Kettlebells.Sandy Sommer, RKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742240537589566757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3628101347853339953.post-28162083783233010372009-03-24T17:59:00.000-07:002009-03-24T17:59:00.000-07:00Yeah those things at target are a joke.
