Hey folks.

Check out the kettlebell picture on the Jordan website:

http://www.jordanfre...ettlebells.html

I think tht they may have listened to the folks in the know who have always spoken about clearance. Here is a pic of the new bells:



As opposed to the old design I used to see on there site tht basically looked like the newitts bells but with a thicker handle and no rubber base. Im sure most of the people on here have seen them.

I may make my next kettlebell purchase from Jordan and report back to you folks.

Yours,

Looking on the first page, yes they have. They have been helped out by Angie Dowd, the bells look good, though I think looking at he handle they may still be welded handles and not one whole unit.

What do you folks think?

They look better, but I'd be interested to see how they feel. It does look like a weld rather than a cast but that shouldn't be too much of an issue, should it?

Some people are skeptical of welded bells not being as durable as the cast models but I think it depends on what you are doing. If you doing alot of juggling & stuff then I suppose you run the risk of dropping the bell and having a welded handle snapping off.

Personally I dont do any kettlebell juggling, so that is not really a concern for me. I try not to drop my bells .

Yep, same here, I use them for swings and TGU's so I try not to drop them on my head too often
