[QUOTE="Flyspray, post: 235737, member: 4981"] Yes you're right with the rubber :) Sometimes the handle wants to turn on impact, which makes the corner of the rhs bang into the base of the index finger. So I think round steel would have been better than rhs, although; unpadded, I think it would still turn too easily (steel is slippery) if it wanted to unless a tighter grip was used, but that would get tiresome and cause shocks up the arm :) [/QUOTE]
